MORryde AllTrek 4000 Equalizers and Wet Bolt Suspension Kit for a 2013 Redwood RV Redwood 5th Wheel

Question

Question:

I want to replace the springs as well as needing to replace the equalizers. I had an axle flip shackles from spring above equalizer to spring below but I can not get it to go back found bushings on springs and equalizers worn. Is it better to run a heavier spring 8k versus the stock 7k or can it be done with out major surgery. we do travel well loaded because we live in it year round. I am a mechanic and can do the springs and all my self just do not have the tooling to relocate the spring mounts. Im looking to do the morryde 4000 equalizers and wetkit upgrade. 2013 Redwood RW36RL Fifth wheel 36 inch wheel spacing.

Thanks for reaching out, Bret!

If your axles shifted from being located above the equalizers to below your equalizers then it sounds like replacing your bushings, equalizers, and shackle straps will fix the issue. As long as your leaf springs are in good shape you shouldn't need to swap them out either.

The MORryde AllTrek 4000 Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 35" Wheelbase # MR29DR will fit your trailer spacing, and then I recommend using the MORryde Upgrade Trailer Kit to replace your bolts and shackles. This comes in two different variations so you just need to choose the one that best matches the length of your shackle straps (center hole to center hole):

- 2-1/4" Shackle Straps # MR46ZR
- 3-1/8" Shackle Straps # MR76ZR

I really like the shackles that come with these kits because at 1/2" thick they are more durable than the factory shackles that come on trailers.

The AllTrek 4000 kits provide the best cushioning so if you were to upgrade from your CRE3000 kit to the Alltrek you would see a big improvement. If you have a 35 inch wheelbase you'd want the part #MR29DR or if you have a 33 inch wheelbase…

The Dexter E-Z Flex Equalizers #K71-655-00 are a great choice. I actually have them on my Jayco Jay Feather and they do a great job smoothing out the ride. These along with the SumoSprings will be a great combination. You currently have 7-3/4"…

I couldn't find any info on the Dexter equalizer part number you mentioned but if the dimensions of the part #K71-653-00 that you referenced match what you have on your trailer this would work well. I attached a picture that has the dimensions of…

Answer 12

Definitely looks like the springs are being overloaded and need to be replaced. You can use higher rated leaf springs but, the higher you go the stiffer the ride will be. Since we know the weight class with your axles the next step would be to…
