I can certainly point you in the right direction. Now, we are not able to look up a year make and model of RV in order to know your equalizer size or shackle size. The first thing you will need to do is measure the size of the current equalizer. Specifically the length, measured across from center hole to center hole, and the height. It is important that the replacement equalizer is identical in size to the current equalizer. For example, the Road Armor # LC696740 is 6" long and 3-1/4" tall. I have included the diagram below for your reference.

If you come up with different measurements on your equalizer, feel free to send me your findings and I can see what we have for you.

As far as the wet bolt and bushing kit, I highly recommend the MORryde wet bolt kits. The shackles are 1/2" thick and are highly durable. With proper maintenence, the bronze bushings and wet bolts can last a very long time. It would not be a stretch at all, to say that the MORryde shackles will last the life of the camper.

We will just need to know the length of the current shackles on your trailer in order to recommend the correct kit. Shackles are measured from center hole to center hole. There are two common sizes, so you will likely have either 2-1/4" long or 3-1/8" long shackle links. If so, you can pick from the following options:

MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 3-1/8" Long Shackle Straps # MR76ZR
MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 2-1/4" Long Shackle Straps # MR46ZR

According to our contact at MORryde, the MORryde X-Factor Crossmember for CRE, SRE, or Stock Leaf Spring Suspension #MR33WR works with the Road Armor cushioned equalizers so this would be what you'd want.

Answer 5

The height of the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers part #LC314336 is 3-1/4" which you can see in the photo below. If you only have 2" of height with the existing equalizers then this may raise the trailer slightly but not a direct 1:1…

Answer 6

Since your Lippert axle is rated for 4,400 pounds normally you would use Equa-Flex system #LC279687 which was designed for 3K to 6K rated axles like yours. But if your existing equalizers are close to 14-5/8 inches long from eye center to eye center…

The MORryde Shackle Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 2-1/4" Shackles & Correct Track #MR58ZR you were looking at may work on your 2018 Highland Ridge Travel Trailer 322RL with Lippert 5200LB axles and the correct track alignment/lift…

Answer 8

Trailer leaf spring suspension needs to have some ability to move otherwise it won't work. This is why when you install kits like the #MR58ZR there will be some play to allow the suspension to function and move.

Answer 9

Thank you providing that measurement. Since you have a 33" wheelbase that is correct, you need the #MR87ZR. To choose the right MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit you will also need to measure your shackle straps. If they measure 2-1/4" from…
