To help you get the correct springs, unfortunately the VIN is not a help as I tried to get information online. If you know the number of axles and axle capacities, then some simple measurements will help me get you the correct replacement parts.

I've attached some articles and a video to assist as well as a photo to help get the dimensions needed.

Answer 3

I contacted MORryde and this does happen from time to time as the weight of the trailer can spread out the axles due to downward pressure on the springs/suspension. Odds are the 35" wheel base #MR27ZR will be the correct one for you, but…

Answer 4

Since Grand Design is kind enough to list certain parts for their trailers I can confirm you have a 33" wheelbase on your 2020 Grand Design Transcend 27BHS. This means the MORryde Rubber Equalizers #MR87ZR will fit your trailer. Although…

Answer 9

For a single axle trailer, you want the shackle strap to be able to move so that you have the spring deflection needed for your suspension. Angled like the photo or even almost vertical is fine you just don't want the shackle strap to bind and…

Answer 10

Yes, going from a 4 leaf to a 6 leaf spring would add slightly to your ride height. For example, if the current 4 leaf spring has 3/8" thick leaves, and you go to a 6 leaf spring with 3/8" thick leaves, you would be adding 3/4" of…

Hey Patrick, so for your leaf spring upgrade I am going to need to know a couple of things before I can get you over to the right part. Specifically, the length from eye to eye, the spring width, leaf thickness, and the number of leaves. From here I…
