Suspension Upgrades for a 2011 Forest River Cedar Creek 36RE

Question

Question:

I have a 2011 Cedar Creek by Forrest River model 36RE. It is a dual axle with 16000 GWR. I would like to upgrade the suspension but don’t want to spend an arm and leg. Is there a part like the LC279689 that is made for dual axle 5th Wheel?

Yes! There are a few options and which set fits will depend on the measurements of your existing equalizers. If the eye center to eye center on your equalizers is 5-1/4 to 6-1/4 inches with a height from the top center hole to the eye center holes of around 2 inches then you can use # K71-652-00.

If your equalizer length measurement is 7-1/4 to 8-1/4 inches then you can use # K71-653-00.

If your equalizers are 7-1/2 inches long with a height of around 5 inches you can use # LC279688.

Another option is to add shocks. If you have 3 inch diameter round axles you can use # LC281281. For 2-3/8 inch diameter round axles you can use # LC281255. One kit fits 1 axle so you would need 2 if either of these kits will fit your axles.
