MorRyde System

[quiglenj]

I installed X-factor cross members on my 2400BH. Thread below...

Note that the drop cross members require horizontal clearance to the gray water line. IIRC, it's 4 inches.

@jproctor9 you have a good memory. MORryde forwarded the drawing of the drop down cross member. Hopefully I can modify the drain to have it move forward more toward the center of the trailer.

I installed mine by myself with one bottle jack and some jack stands. No need to get the whole trailer off the ground. Just takes some planning. be sure to bring a big hammer to get the existing bolts out.

I hope y'all don't mind me bringing up the question again, asked in a slightly different way. I have a '21 2600 RB and a friend has recommended the MORryde suspension kit. I've called the large dealer where I bought my unit and one other fairly large dealer in the area, and both service managers stated they've never seen the MORryde on a travel trailer. hmmmm. I'm putting 6000-14000 miles a year on my rig, but little on dirt roads/boondocking. Is this a helpful or needed upgrade? thoughts?
thanks much.

There are several different MORryde suspension systems: 1) the MORryde independent suspension system for large 5th wheels, and 2) the MORryde equalizer system (two varieties) for solid axles and leaf springs. Some of the new travel trailers have come with MORryde equalizers on them (you might look closely at yours and see). I suspect that the dealers were thinking about the independent suspension, in with case they are correct - most travel trailers aren't heavy enough for the 7K and 8K IS units.

I put the MORryde suspension on my 22' Imagine myself. It was well, very well worth it! I took my rig to northern Alaska 16482 miles, some bad roads. I'm very glad I did it. If I ever switch to new rig it WILL have MORryde suspension.

Will this suspension possibly take care of a minor alignment issue? I have a 2019 2600RB and I just took an Alaskan trip of 15,500 miles, with new GY'ers and my drivers rear tire wore out at around 11,500 miles. I measures the spindle to spindle lengths on each side and one side is about 3/8" off while siting beside my house on a rock driveway. Not sure if that is really bad enough to cause wear. Someone mentioned that the suspension bushings will wear out and possible cause problems like mine. This MORryde seems like an inexpensive upgrade that may take care of my problem and if it doesn't....still worth it.

If the alignment issues are due to a bent axle or spindle, no - installation of new equalizers, etc., will not correct the alignment. If the axles and spindles are OK and the axles are out of alignment with the frame, this can be corrected without installing a new suspension system.

Thanks Rob. I guess I am not sure if my axel is bent or not. If it is... it's minor. I live in the Keys so I'm hundreds of miles from a dealer to check. I don't know...I use my trailer every summer for one long trip and then I park it. Also...my summer trips are usually long and over 10,000 miles. Part of me just thinks it's easier to throw a set of new tires every year before I take off. I'm not sure if it's I'm going back and forth on this. I guess, I'm being lazy...

It doesn't have to be an RV dealership to check trailer alignment. Most heavy truck/trailer shops - or even shops that build or repair utility trailers - can check to see if an axle or spindle is out of alignment. I don't know if a business like that exists in the Keys.

I just had a MorRyde installed on my 22mle by a trailer repair shop for $200 labor. IT only took two hours. The RV dealers wanted $800 labor and leave it for a week.
