Hey Ian, great to hear from you again! The differences between the MORryde CRE3000 #MR87ZR and AllTrek 4000 #MR89DR that fit a 33" wheelbase is the height between the hanger and equalizer bolts, and the amount of travel the suspension style will…
Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out. Yes, we should have the leaf springs and hardware you need, but those parts aren't make and model specific to your trailer, so I will need a bit more information from you. For the leaf springs, I'll need to…
Hello Lanny, thanks for reaching out. The CRE 3000 is already a pretty good suspension system, but if you want to upgrade, the first thing that comes to mind are the AllTrek 4000 equalizers. They have more rubber than the CRE 3000, 40% more, so you…
Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have are…
Hey Matthew, what you you are experiencing is due to going with leaf springs that are too long and it forces the equalizer to kind of fold in on its self. I checked your order notes and you went with the part #e88SR which is a 26 inch long leaf…

Trailer Suspension Parts for smoother, quieter rides
From leaf springs to equalizers and wet-bolt shackle kits, these trailer suspension parts help cure sag, bounce, and squeaks. Match new springs by center-to-center eye length and axle rating, and pick equalizers by wheelbase and the travel you want. Greasable bolts with brass bushings cut friction and noise, and heavier-duty shackles and brackets can firm things up, though changes may affect ride height and hitch setup.
New leaf springs and a suspension upgrade kit can reduce rubbing and help level a heavier side. Users have reported tire-to-floor contact stopping and interior drawers staying shut after the upgrade. If one side carries more weight, replace springs, bushings, and equalizers together for best results.
Pick the one that matches your hanger spacing and desired ride feel. More travel can improve shock absorption, while the height between the hanger and equalizer bolts affects ride height. If you want to maintain height, compare those dimensions before you buy. Verify your wheelbase spacing and use the manufacturer's qualifier sheet to confirm fit.
Measure center-to-center of the spring eyes and match your axle's weight rating. Leaf springs also flatten out over time, so go with ones that measure just a bit shorter than what you currently have. Replace related hardware like shackle and U-bolt mounts at the same time for a fresh start.
Follow the instructions closely and plan for secure jacking and stands. Some self-tapping screws may not go in straight—drill and tap, or add nuts where access is blocked. Mark wet bolts to set the grease hole correctly. After a lift, you may need to extend wires and adjust your equalizer hitch.
Yes, they can reduce squeaks and add grease points for smoother operation. Orient the wet-bolt grease hole at 3 or 9 o'clock. Longer shackles can change ride height and feel, so check clearances and any helper-spring spacers. If a zerk won't take grease or is damaged, replace the fitting and recheck alignment.
