When we had our Imagine 2950RL i installed the MORryde CRE 3000 and the HD shackle and wet bolt kit. Made a big difference in how the Imagine towed. It should be said that the Imagine initially has the rigid equalizer and not rubber cushioned it also has nylon bushings that wear out in 3000 miles. Of course the Imagine never had wet bolts.
Traded the Imagine for our 2019 Solitude 3350RL. I just completed installing the MORryde HD shackle kit U012-016 and new wet bolts on our Solitude. The Solitude line already has the Equa-Flex rubber cushioned center equalizer which is very much like the MORryde CRE's. The reason I installed new wet bolt kit and the HD shackles was because some of the original wet bolts would not take grease because the grease hole in the bolt was clocked at the wrong position. The other reason I installed new wet bolts was that they did not install wet bolts at the spring end frame hangers. The spring end frame hangers just had bronze bushings installed dry and without grease they wear out fast. Our Solitude has only 3000-3500 miles and the end hanger bushings were already wore out. Of course the HD shackles are 3 times the thickness of the original ones.
The HD shackles and wet bolts are not that difficult to install, its just time consuming. Just remember to clock the grease hole on the wet bolt to the 3 or 9 o'clock position. this makes them easier to take grease. You can search in the axle and suspension section for my install post for our Solitude. Also search the Imagine section for my install post when I did ours a few years ago. No matter which make/model you have the install is pretty much the same. If you have any questions ask away I'll be glad to help you.Last edited by Steven@147; 01-29-2020 at 10:04 AM.
