How To Determine Which Suspension Upgrades For 2021 Forest River Salem Travel Trailer
Question:
I have a 2021 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite 273QBXL VIN 4X4TSMC22M7425559 that Im looking at purchasing and installing Road Armor Shocks. What shocks and other accessories are needed for installation? Also, do you have an install video for these?

The three things you'll need to know to choose the correct cushioned equalizers is the axle capacity, the center hole to center hole length of the equalizers you currently have and the height of the equalizers.
For example, the Lippert # LC696740 Road Armor has a bolt spread measuring 6 inches wide and is 3-1/2 inches in height, measured from the center of the top hole down to a line drawn between the holes where the shackle links mount, as shown in the provided photo. The Road Armor equalizer is designed for 3500-8000 lb rated axles.
The Roadmaster # RM-2460-2570 fit is determined a bit differently. It's designed for 3 inch diameter axle tubes, which is typical for 5200-7000 lb axles.
When you find the information mentioned above please reach back out to me and I would be more than happy to find the correct part for you.
