Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this MORryde shackle upgrade kit for triple axle trailers with the LRE leaf spring suspension and the OEM correct track hangers. Now, this heavy duty shackle kit is an excellent upgrade for your RV suspension. This kit is designed for triple axle trailers with the LRE leaf spring suspension, and the two and a quarter inch shackles, and the OEM correct track hangers. Now, on this kit, what's nice is it's a half inch thick shackle bracket, which are thicker and stronger.
They're more durable than your standard quarter-inch thick factory brackets. They also use the bronze bushings instead of the plastic bushings for increased durability. And the bolts that are used on these shackles are greasable bolts, also known as wet bolts. They're easily maintained. They help minimize wear and tear versus a dry bowl.
Now basically, in a multiaxial system, the shackle is light, we'll link the springs and the equalizers in your suspension system. And the shackles are the part that'll handle the most movement and weight in a suspension setup, therefore, they're the most likely component to wear, and should be checked frequently. The shackle bolts, these are what'll hold the shackle straps. These are your straps to your leaf springs and to your equalizer. And normally it has dry bolts which over time can wear out and fail.
As we mentioned, these use the wet bolts. So, besides having these thicker straps here, the wet bolts that they use have a nice grease zerc fitting on the end, and that allows you to apply grease to the inside of the bushing. So if you slide your bushing off, you'll see a little hole right here. So when you attach your grease gun to this zerc fitting pump in the grease, it'll go on the inside of the bolt, and come out that hole. And then with your bushing installed, the grease will be on the inside.
So it gives you good lubrication on the bushings. Keeps wear from happening at these connection points. Now, this upgrade kit will replace the shackle straps, the bushings and lock nuts on your RV suspension system. This kit does come with everything I laid out here on the table. It includes 12 of the two and a quarter inch long shackle straps, and they're half inch wide, we mentioned. And when I say two and a quarter inch long, basically they're measured from the center of this hole to the center of that hole. That's the measurement we're saying when it's two and a quarter inches. Comes with over here four of these three bolts straps, 22 of the nine sixteenths by three and three eighths inch long wet bolt. Comes with two of the nine sixteenths by two and seven-eighths inch long wet bolts, 16 of the bronze bushings, 24 of the flange lock nuts. And then right here, comes with eight of the sheer spring brackets with the hardware. Does also come with a nice set of installation instructions that'll describe how this all goes together. And these parts are made in the USA, but that should do it for the review on the MORryde shackle upgrade kit for your triple axle trailers, with the LRE leaf spring suspension and the OEM correct track hangers..

every thing ordered fit perfectly a little labor intensive but job completed in approximately 6 hrs shear springs will make a big difference as the old ones had worn out and were splitting bad on left side not so much on right but replaced both sides and all bushings and new wet bolts and shackles now the suspension is like new as my Montane is 10 yrs old
Along with replacing the springs on my tandem trailer I upgraded the equalizers shackles and installed with the wet bolt hardware. I am very satisfied with the quality of components. etrailer’s customer service and quick delivery will continue to be my first go to when I need parts.
I sent the following comments by email earlier:
Nothing looks damaged although the packaging for shipment could be better. And when I opened the box with the shackles and wet bolts, it was obvious this was a returned order by someone else. It was not properly repackaged, and everything thrown in the box loose. Most of the parts were already cut out of the plastic shrink wrap and carboard backing. The only thing I can see missing at this point is the instructions. However, I have watched enough of the videos provided by eTrailer to be familiar with the installation process.
Thought I would let you know.
You need to make these brackets fo the sumo spring. My wet Bolt kits were great ! Much needey.
After Ashley and others helped in an emergency situation overnighting another package of MORryde wet-bolts/shackles, I was able to complete the installation along with a Correct Track Alignment/Lift Kit. This was a JOB with 2 dudes hard at it to get the wet bolts/shackles on with the alignment and lift kit, getting the axles aligned just in time to hit the road for our long scheduled vacation... I was missing 2 longer wet bolts for some reason? I have to to tell you it was FRANTIC at the end, since I was doing my own work luckily with a friends help. It's a 2 person job.But ETRAILER came through! Thank you gals and guys! Rated a 4 only because there weren't enough longer bolts that were missing. ETrailer sales and tech are a 5!
I like that I can grease the bolts as the old ones were seized up. What I do need is four more bolts like the ones that go with the shackles for the other end of the spring. The existing springs had 1/4” positioning plates. I used existing bolts for now. Do you sell just four of the longer bolts?
The package arrived as scheduled. Must have gotten banged around as the box had slight damage in one corner and two of the shackels were broken away from the package. The shackels sure look heavy duty. I could see a bolt breaking before any of these shackels
Got my upgrade kit yesterday along with new springs and Road Armor equalizer. This will be a huge improvement over the stock units i had on the trailer. I want to give kudos to etrailer for the prompt and quality shipping. Everything is great. Also, to @BigTruckBigRV for the invaluable information on the different types of equalizers and parts. His report guided me to etrailer. Finally, and big thanks to Phillip and this guidance and suggestions. I had shopped on the web site and had a pretty good idea of what i was looking for and at. Phillip made a couple of key suggestions and really tied it all together for me. Thanks Phillip.
I have not installed them yet. But I did receive them today and man they look amazing. I was unaware of the existence of these, even when I was looking for replacement parts. Luckily I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I called in late one evening and received the help I truly deserved!
I was promptly helped to find the items I truly needed. No more worried for me. I had several issues with my order (all my fault) and each one was addressed perfectly.
Everything fit very well, easy to install. I did have to drill out my equalizers for the bushings but my equalizers are of an old design. Very satisfied.
I installed the MORryde CRE3000 and wet bolt kit on my 2021 East to West Alta 2850KRL and it was the easiest install you could want. From the time I jacked it up and got the tires off, total time spent was 2 1/2 hrs. That included running to the tire shop to have new tires mounted. Can't wait to get it on the road to see how it handles. Thanks E trailer.
Great phone service.. help with solution and product selection.
"How to" video most helpful!
Outstanding product is heavy duity, 3× thicker steele than original shackles.. only negative was delivery time was two days later than promised even though order shipped immediatly... recomend UPS rather than USPS..
The MORyde Suspension Upgrade kit is a very solid and heavy duty kit. The shackle straps are twice the thickness of the straps that came on the RV and the wet bolts will be a great upgrade for the RV I haven't installed it yet, so I can't comment of the installation and ride. I will be installing this on my 5th wheel RV, triple axle.
I took a star off the review because of the packaging. These items come laid out on a piece of cardboard and then vacuum packed to the cardboard. When the item arrived, it was not packaged very well. All pieces had broken away from the packaging and were pretty much free floating in the box. Nuts had come off some of the bolts and the bronze bushings had fallen off. It doesn't look like the threads of the bolts were damaged. There was also one shackle strap that was missing from the package, only 5 were in the box.
I contacted etrailer support and Adam took care of this issue right away. He contacted MORyde and they are sending out the missing shackle strap. Hope to have it soon.
I just installed these today with the help of a talented friend. It took us about 3 hrs total and there were absolutely no surprises whatsoever. We lifted one side of the trailer and completed the work with the other side resting on the tires. I thought the weight of the trailer on the other wheels would mess with us but it had no bearing on what we were doing, it may have even helped us. After finishing the first side in 1 1/2 hrs, we did the second side in a little over an hour. I was surprised. After finishing each individual side we greased the zerks, installed the wheels and tires, and moved to the other side. I'm very impressed. These shackles are twice the thickness of what came with this Jayco RV. So far I'm a happy camper. I can't imagine any issues going forward, but if any crop up I will surely report back.
Installed quick & easy , gave it a 4 because I think the bolts should be grade 8 , just my opinion, the straps are heavy duty and the bronze bushings are a must, watch the video before i started to have a game plan
This is a heavy duty upgrade kit, the shackles were twice as thick as the ones I replaced. The bronze bushings were a great upgrade from the nylon bushings that were currently used on existing suspension setup. Love having the wet bolts allowing for bushings to be greased without disassembling any parts. Would recommend this upgrade kit to anyone replacing their suspension system
Please see attached photo of how this package arrived, the outside box was not damaged at all. This means someone at etrailer really packed it like that and thought it was fine.
It is a quality product, it is a wonderful kit. I pulled the trailer around the block and the axles did not walk out on sharp corners like the old ones did and with the cre3000 it felt like it pulled better over rough roads
Still working fine. I am glad I replaced my factory shackles. I was amazed how worn the original equipment was after 3 years of use. I think every trailer should come with shackles that can be greased.
Used with a complete suspension overhaul, with the exception of the axles. Paula was excellent in assisting with the right (4) springs, equalizer, u bolts and this kit. She worked with me over the phone asking the right questions as I measured and rechecked lengths and widths. Got everything right the first time, everything bolted together with a little persuasion.
The front&rear bolts are not long enough. Need to be 3-3/4” usable length Spring mounts on trailer have have 1/4” washers on both sides of mount that’s why bolts weren’t long enough
Good product, wish the kit was available with 7 3/4" equalizers & 3 1/8" straps. have to piece-meal it together. E-trailer was a bad choice through. Should have ordered elsewhere- cheaper and faster for identical kit.
I bought this kit to upgrade the suspension on my RV. I installed Road Armor equalizers when I installed this kit and everything worked perfectly together.
The shackles are massive and you get everything you need to completely re-work your leaf spring suspension. The wet bolts are machined perfectly and include locking style nuts - no lock washers needed.
Putting grease into the bolts really quieted down the suspension on the RV. No more low speed squeaking when parking or moving.
etrailer was great to buy from. Their tech support confirmed for me that I could use this kit with the Road Armor equalizers. Their pricing was good and my order was processed quickly.
