Question:

I have a 2021 Grand Design Reflection 303RLS with 5200 Dexter axles and Morryde CRE 3000. I am thinking about adding Roadmaster Comfort Ride or just adding the Roadmaster shocks. Since I already have Morrryde would there be any benefit in upgrading further. If adding the shocks I would also think about upgrading the springs to 5 leaf pack. My current leafs are a 4 pack. I also have wet bolts installed. Thank you

Going from standard leaf springs - even with a rubber equalizer - to a whole new suspension system will 100 percent upgrade the ride of your 2021 Grand Design Reflection 303RLS. While you will certainly get some benefit by going to the Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers # RM-2460, you'll still be limited by the relatively rough standard leaf springs (going from a 5-leaf spring to a 4-leaf spring won't actually do anything for you). So adding the shocks are a nice option, but the best overall upgrade will definitely be the entire kit:

- Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers # RM-2460-2570

The # RM-2460-2570 is for tandem axles rated up to 7,000 lbs so they are right for your '21 Reflection and comes with both the shocks and slipper spring suspension. The benefits of the shocks are straightforward, but the slipper spring set up is just as - if not more - important.

The way it works is the center hanger box has rollers that allow the springs to move, which means the springs work independently instead of playing off each others' movement. This allows the springs to have much smoother movement and operation, which - when paired with the shock absorbers - ensures higher quality handling.
