If you're going to upgrade your suspension, I recommend going with the MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers as they offer the most travel therefore have the best shock absorption and ride quality. The part # MR87ZR is for a 33" axle spread and the part # MR27ZR is for a 35" axle spread. The MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers part # MR46ZR would then complete your setup.

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 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 10

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…
