Upgrading Suspension of 2015 Open Range 3X427BHS
Question:
I have a 2015 Open Range 3X427BHS. GVWR 14,000 lbs and hitch weight 2300 lbs. Currently has 7000 lb dual axles at 33inch spacing. Id like to upgrade to the Moryde SRE4000, X-factor cross members, wet bolt and shackle kit, new leaf springs, shock absorbers. Can you help me out? What all do I need to purchase? Do you have everything I need? Also, I currently use the Andersen hitch to pull with. Can I upgrade to an Air Ride pin box? What do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
Since your 2015 Open Range 3X427BHS has 7k axles that are spaced 33 inches apart the MORryde SRE4000 that you mentioned part # MR97ZR would work great. This comes with the X-factor brace as well.
Or if you wanted to go a slightly different route that has everything you'd need the Roadmaster Comfort Ride part # RM-2460-2570 which replaces the suspension, comes with shocks, and an equalizer system. This setup would not let you use the SRE4000 though.
But just the shock kit of this part # RM-2460 can work with the SRE4000 so to go that route you'd have to source leaf springs somewhere else since we don't carry any for a 7k axle.
To pick out a cushioned pin box I would need to know what model pin box your fifth wheel has currently.
