Suspension Upgrade on a 2016 Keystone Cougar XLite 5th Wheel

Published 06/19/2025

Question:

good morning, I just purchased a 2016 keystone cougar xlite fw 29 res, and it has these correct track hangers on there and cre3000 suspension equalizers that have cougar written on them. Is it possible that the correct track hanger system was installed at the factory new? because there is no obvious sign of after market paint so to speak, everything matches paint wise up and down the frame, help out a confused rver .thanks

Hey George, congrats on the new trailer. Thanks for the pictures but you'll need to contact Keystone directly to find out if that's a factory suspension set up. I do not have a database that shows me what parts are on your trailer.

Are you looking to replace the equalizers or leaf springs? You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.

I need to replace the equalizers, one of them is bad along with the shackles and bolts, but the independent dealer I purchased the camper from is paying for it, I was more or less just wondering about these because I've never seen them before

@GeorgeC I have not seen that style before either and was surprised by that octagon shaped yellow spacer looking deal. If you need recommendations for replacement equalizers or shackles I would just need to know the center hole to center hole bolt spacing on both parts.

@JerredH I actually ordered this morning after I messaged you the morryde cre3000 and the accompanying wet bolt kit after I measured the shackles and bolts, appreciate you guys at etrailer, extremely helpful
