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 they…

To find the load capacity for your axle you should look on the trailer VIN plate or sticker that lists the VIN number. The weight rating of the axle should be listed on that same plate or sticker. Also, the axle could have a tag or plate on it that…

The absolute best cushioned equalizer that fits the dimensions you mentioned having would be the MORryde ALLTREK 4000 part #MR89DR as this is only option to provide vertical and horizontal cushioning. This would make a big difference and you'd be…
