So i called MORryde and they requested I send pics. This was their response, seems to me like this would weaken the spring hanger unless i'm missing something any thoughts?

Although I didn’t call Grand Design since I felt uncomfortable modifying the hanger after talking to Morryde, you might give them a call to see if that would void any warranties.
As for the Dexter EZ Flex, I feel it has smoothed out the ride and there hasn’t been any things fall around inside the trailer once at our destination. I did call Dexter too and sent them the hanger photo; they said no mods needed.
I agree the Morryde looks to be a little better but this is our first trailer with leaf springs, previous two had independent, so I wish I could give a more longer-term review but have only used it one season.2010 Tundra SR5 DC 5.7L 4x4

Here's a shot of the cre3000 on a 2020 21bhe. The install was done by Morryde in Elkhart.

Thanks for the photo @tfgd21bhe
The hanger doesn’t appear to be modified from what I can see from the photo. I’m confused now why they say it needs to be modified but Morryde in Elkhart can do it without the mod.
Since @Hitsman3 is still in the market for this maybe he can call to get further clarification and let us all know. Are they saying they are the only installer that can do this without modifying the hanger?2010 Tundra SR5 DC 5.7L 4x4

Well interesting! They told me it had to be modified so that the flanges on the CRE3000 wouldn't hit the hanger (see pic). I also feel this would weaken the hanger which i don't want to do. I called LCI & talked to them about the Road Armor equalizer & they said it would fit my hanger no problem. It's more expensive but seems like it could be better so that's the way i'm going. The Good thing is the wife's on board with it. We are going to add Sumo Springs as well.

Thanks for the follow-up @Hitsman3
Good luck with the upgrade. I’ve read some good things about the trailer sumo springs.
For anybody reading this thread in the future, I just want to mention that in my case I decided to upgrade the equalizer based on my reading and research. The nylon bushings that come standard on this suspension might last just one season.2010 Tundra SR5 DC 5.7L 4x4

Come to find out MORryde says I can install the CRE3000 as long as my hanger is the same EXACT measurements as (tfgd21bhe) is? I have to assume it is as they are both GD Imagine XLS's. Look identical in the pics. LCI says the road armor won't work because the Road Armor bolt holes are only 6" in width & my current dexter one's are 7-3/4". They say I can use the equaflex as it is a direct replacement for my current set up it's just a bit taller but shouldn't make a difference. Waiting to hear back from MORryde on how wide the CRE3000 is? Thanks for all you guys input, any other thoughts or concerns i should be thinking of?
