Upgraded Equalizers and Wet Bolts For a Triple Axle Camper With 33" Wheel Center Spacings

Question

Question:

I have a fifth wheel triple axle camper and Im looking for equalizers for the suspension. My wheel spacing is 33 inch from center of wheel to center of wheel. My equalizer spacing is only 5 1/2 inches from center of bolt to center of bolt and I measured the bolts and looks like they are 7/16inch.

I recommend upgrading to the MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers # MR59ZR for your triple axle 5th wheel camper. These are designed for axle spacings of 33". You will need to select one of the wet bolt kits from the list below. There are kits for trailers using correct track hangers that are adjustable. Then you will need to measure your current shackle straps and replace with the closest length. These are measured from center of bolt hole to center of bolt hole.

MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Triple Axle Trailers - 2-1/4" # MR86ZR
MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Triple Axle Trailers - 3-1/8" # MR26ZR
MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Triple Axle Trailers w Correct Track - 2-1/4" # MR38ZR
MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Triple Axle Trailers w Correct Track - 3-1/8" # MR48ZR

The main shaft on these bolts are 9/16" with the threaded end being 7/16".

Answer 5

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…
