Comparing USA and China Leaf Springs for a 2006 Keystone Raptor
Question:
I have the same exact trailer HOWEVER, I currently already have the Dexter ez system which has been on for years. I am interested in upgrading further to the MORryde SRE4000 system as I do need to lift the trailer slightly to better match my 2017 f350 srw superduty. and MORE IMPORTANTLY improve trailer suspension travel. FURTHER, I want to replace ALL the leaf springs you suggested with the 5 leaf unit and am wondering if the USA made leaf springs are better the those manufactured in China?????? Finally, in speaking with morryde directly also install new wet bolts. I look forward to your reply

The etrailer Leaf Springs we offer like the 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # e34SR are very durable and have a great reputation for performance and longevity. In fact, we have hundreds of customer reviews on these leaf springs and most have given the highest rating possible. I am not sure which other leaf springs you are referencing but I can confirm the above are a quality option you can rely and depend on.
In regards to suspension enhancement, the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers part # LC279689 or part # LC281314 is the best option we can offer you but I understand if you want to go another route. That said, the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers use self-lubricating bushing so wet bolts like the Step Wet Bolt part # 34007-187-00 are not needed.
