How to Improve Ride of Trailer With Tandem 8k Axles & MORryde CRE3000 Rubber Equalizers

Question

Question:

My trailer has the Morryde CRE 3000 equalizers. Would the Road armor significantly improve the ride? Also, the measurements between the two are close in all dimensions, but not exact. All within 1/4”-1/2” Would I be able to use all the existing hardware and just swap out equalizers? Thanks!

We can get you a more comfortable ride, though the Road Armor equalizers truthfully won't do the job as an upgrade over the CRE3000 MORryde Rubber Equalizers like # MR87ZR or # MR27ZR, they would just be replacing one upgraded equalizer with another to little effect.

Based on the fact you have these equalizers I'm going to assume you do have tandem, 8,000 lb axles, and the best way to significantly improve your ride is with a shock kit from Roadmaster:

- Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 8,000 lb Axle # RM-2470

The Comfort Ride shocks install easily between your axle's U-bolt tie plates and the trailer frame, and are unique because the shock is able to mount at an angle more vertical than other shocks, which allows it to absorb more of your axle's up-and-down movement than any other upgrade. This system is compatible with your MORryde equalizers and is going to combine with them to give you the smoothest, most comfortable towing experience you can get.
