Looking for suggestions on suspension upgrade for my 2021 Grand Design Imagine travel trailer model is a 2600RB. It pulls well with my 2500HD but feel like a stiffer suspension would help.

For a suspension upgrade on your 2021 Grand Design Imagine 2600RB I recommend an upgraded equalizer. This will help smooth out your ride and keep the force and vibration from the road transferring into the body of your trailer.

Based on the dimensions of your current equalizer the best choice would be the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-653-00. This measures 7-3/4" and works with axles up to 8,000 lbs. It also comes with wet bolts, bronze bushings, and heavy-duty shackles which will outlast your standard hardware.

If you would like to add some additional support on top of this, check out the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs. These will provide additional support and reduce the load on your leaf springs extending the life of your suspension. SumoSprings improve handling and help eliminate sway and body roll. You have 4,400 lb overslung axles so the correct kit would be the # TSS-107-40. You will need a quantity of two, one of each axle.

I have attached some review and installation videos below for your reference.

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…

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…

I can tell you how to determine the fit of the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit #K71-653-00, though it isn't a specific fit for any one trailer, so I can't tell you offhand if it will fit your 2018 Wolf Pack. The kit is for double-axle trailers…

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…

I would be happy to compare the Road Armor, Dexter E-Z Flex, and MORryde equalizers you were looking at for your Jayco Eagle 325BHS. First things first each of these kits are designed to replace equalizers that measures roughly 6" between the…

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…

Well shackle length is mainly based on the height difference between the front and rear hangers. The rear hanger normally doesn't hang as low as the front so that the shackle can offset the difference and add the ability to move. What is the…

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…
