Question:

Looking at these for a 2016 Coleman lantern 262bhs and wondering if they have any effect on ride height? I see they claim to add 3inches more travel and am wondering if the trailer ride height is changed as well. Thank you.

Expert Reply:

With the MORryde Rubber Equalizers # MR87ZR being taller than a traditional Curved Equalizer # TREQ458 will raise the ride height on your trailer if you use your current shackles and straps. MORryde does make the Suspension Upgrade Kit # MR76ZR with 3-1/8" shackle straps measured from center of hole to center of hole. These being longer than the 2-1/4" Kit # MR46ZR will reduce the amount the ride height will change. As the MORryde equalizer is cushioned and provides 3" of travel it is hard to put an exact measurement on the difference to the traditional equalizer as it changes while you move and depending on the weight of the trailer.
