Lift Kit and Shackle Upgrade Kit for 2012 Forest River Catalina Santara 281 BHS
Question:
I have a 2012 Forest River Catalina Santara Model 281BHS tandem axle travel trailer that Im looking to improve suspension and possibly raise 2. Any suggestions on what all I need to do this upgrade utilizing the Lippert Road Armor system. Tandem axle information information. Lippert NV# 266388. LC135-SB-82-65.25-NOSP-US-L-545-7242, Serial # 045-001460040, GAWR. Distance between axles is 33. Improved bronze bushings with lube fittings are also desired along with thicker shackles. Thank you,

For a lift kit for your 2012 Forest River Catalina Santara 281BHS the Correct Track lift kit part # RR23QX would be what you'd want as it can give a lift of 2-1/4 inches. For a kit that comes with thicker shackles and bronze bushings you would want the MORryde upgrade kit part # MR46ZR. The bolts that come with this kit have grease fittings as well.
