I recommend the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit # MR46ZR for your 2021 Keystone Cougar 27SGS 5th wheel. This kit has the same 2-1/4" long bolt hole spacing shackle straps that you currently have with the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer # LC696740. Bronze bushings are included with all wet bolts to replace any damaged or nylon bushings.

I recommend using the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390 with the Grease Gun # L30416 to fill the bolts. This grease is specifically formulated to handle extreme pressure in both hot and cold climates.

Since your shackle straps are 2-1/4 inch for a wet bolt and heavy duty shackle kit you'd want the #MR46ZR which comes with bushings as well. You do not need new equalizers.

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…

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…

Answer 7

Yes, axle spread and wheel base by definition are the same measurements. You will measure from the center of one axle to the center of the 2nd axle to determine what you axle spread is. This may be difficult as some wheels and covers will make this…

Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have are…

Answer 10

The hangers you currently have on your trailer are ones I have run into before. That being said, I spoke with MORryde and the #MR27ZR will still fit your trailer, but there is a modification that will need to be made. You’ll have to trim according to…

Answer 11

You will definitely want to go with the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit #LC696740 over the MORryde as the Road Armor has more travel and will provide a smoother ride. Then, in regards to shackle straps I'm not sure what you mean by which…
