Suspension Upgrade on Imagine 2670MK 2022

[Timbo13]

Was thinking about some suspension upgrades, i.e. replacing the original equalizers and shackles with the MoRryde Wet Bolts and MoRryde CRE3000 Equalizers. Also was coonsidering the Sumo Spring install as well. I still have about a year and a half on an extended warranty that i purchased when purchasing the RV. I don't want to void any warranty items by doing a modification or changing out any original equipment if it may jeopardize my warranty. Just wanted to get feedback on these suspension upgrades from others to find out if they are worth the effort and if there are any other things to change out that may be beneficial. My plan is to do more long distance traveling with this travel trailer in the coming years as i'm fully retired now and can take the longer trips. Just want to make sure i'm traveling safely with what i have with the original equipment.

Hi Tim. There are similar threads on this topic if you want to search as well. But I did the same upgrades last year and now have 10,000 miles on them. I installed MoRyde wet bolts, CRE3000, and Roadmaster shock absorbers. The shock absorbers are great by the way. The shackles and equalizer are looking good so far.

However, I just started spring maintenance on the hubs/brakes today. I noticed that the leaf spring on the first one has a slight "w" bend about an inch or so from the ends where the spring meets the equalizer and hanger bracket. So, before we head to Alaska I'm going to replace all of them with 4000# springs. Rather do something about it on my own time now rather than risk a broken spring on the side of the road. Related to this, the shock absorbers help dampen both up and down movement, whereas Sumo Springs will help dampen downward movement. But I would be curious to know if I had installed those instead, would I still have a "w" shape on the springs now? I dunno. But I do like that we no longer have drawers in our rear kitchen open, dinette cushions on the floor, etc.

Have fun with your upgrades when the time comes!
