Thanks for reaching out, Terry!
If you could let me know the following I'll be able to get you moving in the right direction:
- How many axles you have and their weight capacity
- What your wheelbase is (distance between the centers of your wheels)
- Distances between the bolt hole centers on your equalizers
- Distance between the bolt hole centers on your shackles
Let me know this information and I'll be able to put a list of parts together for you!

Looks like I will just be getting equalizers, shackles and wet bolts. My undercarriage is significantly more robust than shown in your videos. My spring hangers are 1/4" steel, fully boxed on the outside of the hangers, 11" X 3" frame with a full crossmember at the centerline of the rear wheel. My 5th wheel is a 2007 Nuwa Hitchhiker II LS 32.5 FKSBG, Dual Dexter D60C Never-Lube axles, 33” spacing, 10,600 Lb. Empty weight, 13,500 Lb. max GVW Ryan from MORyde sent me some qualifications sheets for equalizers, to check for fit. I will want to get a new set of wet bolts for the spring hangers. Can I order 4 of those in addition to the shackle kit? Thanks for your help! Terry Stefanski
