i have a 2019 Momentum 381m with the factory Equ flex spring hangers and trying to descide if just changing the wet bolts and bushing hangers is all that is needed rather than purchase the Morride 4000 kit? Any advice is appreacited. Thanks AL
I missed your post or I would have replied. Your post is confusing to me. Are you having problems with the suspension? Is the equa-flex rubber equalizers wore out? The spring hangers are the Lippert "U" brackets welded to the frame. The equa-flex is the rubber isolator equalizer. Bushing hangers, are you wanting to replace the Lippert frame hangers?
If you want to upgrade the suspension to MORryde, just for piece of mind, I would by the MORryde kit. Its probably less cost if upgrading the suspension than buying bolts, nuts, bushings, upgraded HD shackles and the equalizer separate.
If just doing maintenance and replacing the bushings, you can reuse the wet bolts you just need new nuts as they are single use only. I am sure they are available even at E-trailer. Here again you can probably find new wet bolts with nuts easier than just buying the nuts. In any case if your taking it apart I would install the HD shackles no matter what.
Ours is a 2019 and we have 5000 miles on it, add in the initial trailer delivery to Texas and it has 6000 miles on it and so far the equa-flex equalizers are fine. I grease the suspension wet bolts twice per year. The last greasing was Feb 2021.
I did install the heavy duty shackles right after we got the rig new. You cant see the bronze bushings to see if they are wore out but when I installed the HD shackles after a year of use the old bushings were fine, I replaced them anyway when installing the new HD shackles just because I had it apart. I do carry some extra wet bolts and bushings just in case but have never needed them so far. Now if someday I have to replace the equa-flex equalizers because they are wore out then I probably will install MORryde equalizers and at that point I'll just replace everything bushings, bolts/nuts equalizer. Hopefully that's a year or two away.
