Expert Reply:

Are you speaking of a MORryde cushioned equalizer like part # MR34AR?

If so, the SumoSprings # TSS-107-40 which is compatible with your Grand Design 260rd would be compatible with a cushioned equalizer, neither of the two would interfere with installing the other and the two would work together just fine.
