Looking For HD Shackle/Wet Bolt Suspension Upgrade Kit For 2020 Cougar 5th Wheel  

Updated 02/23/2026 | Published 02/17/2026

Question:

I want to upgrade my 2020 Cougar Fifth wheel that has 2 Dexter 5200 Lbs axles on it, with a heavy duty shackle kit with brass bushings and wet bolts. It has the road armor center piece if that makes a difference. Which part number do I need? I see there are many.

Hey Colin, thanks for reaching out. We can definitely get you a wet bolt/HD shackle kit for your 2020 Cougar 5th wheel. One of the MORryde suspension upgrade kits is what I recommend. I'll just need you to confirm the hole-to-hole length of the current shackles. They should be either 2-1/4" long or 3-1/8" long so please double check that and choose from the following:

- MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 2-1/4" Long Shackle Straps # MR46ZR

- MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 3-1/8" Long Shackle Straps # MR76ZR

These come with 1/2" thick HD shackles, wet bolts and bronze bushings. They will work just fine with cushioned equalizers like your Road Armor. Just make sure the bushings stay greased and this'll be a super solid setup that will hold up great for years to come.

Awesome !!! Thank you. One more question, I would like to three of the MORryde X factor cross members for the same trailer. One for each shackle front and back, and also the center between the axles. Can you please steer me in the right direction, just so I'm sure I get the correct ones. Thanks,

@ColinE Absolutely! The MORryde X-Factor Crossmember # MR33WR is what you'll need. You will want to take a quick look under your camper and make sure there are no plumbing lines or electrical or anything behind the hangers that would obstruct the crossmember. In some cases, the Drop Down Brackets # MR43WR are needed to clear obstructions. They are also needed for drop axles. Otherwise, the standard crossmembers # MR33WR are what you will need.
