The MORryde CRE3000 equalizers, like part # MR27ZR, fit with 9/16" wet bolts so the bolts that come with the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers # MR46ZR will fit and you just need to compare the 2-1/4" shackles to what you currently have.

Measure from the center of one bolt hole on the shackles to the center of the other bolt hole and if this is 2-1/4" then you're good to go! If they measure longer than that, we also have the kit # MR76ZR which has the same parts just with 3-1/8" long shackles instead.

Answer 1

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.

If you went with the shorter shackle kit part #MR46ZR you'd slightly increase the ride height of your trailer or if you went with the longer one #MR76ZR you'd lower it ever so slightly but either would work great. Either will work great with…

Since you have a Dometic AC unit the best option to replace it from Advent would be the part #ACDOM135 which was designed for this exact situation and would allow you an easy install since the electronics would plug right in.

The Progressive Dynamics 2000 Watt Inverter w/ Transfer Switch #PD64FR still shouldn't be mounted in the battery compartment since it isn't ignition protected. I understand the thinking since lithium doesn't vent gases like other…

Answer 6

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…

Hi David; nope, the leaf springs don't need to be changed if going to the AllTrek 4000 equalizers. You just need to choose the right one based on your wheelbase (measured center-to-center of your wheels): - 33" Wheelbase: MORryde AllTrek…

Answer 9

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…

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…

Hey Patrick, so for your leaf spring upgrade I am going to need to know a couple of things before I can get you over to the right part. Specifically, the length from eye to eye, the spring width, leaf thickness, and the number of leaves. From here I…
