MORryde AllTrek 4000 Equalizers and Wet Bolt Suspension Kit for a 2013 Redwood RV Redwood 5th Wheel

Question

Question:

I want to replace the springs as well as needing to replace the equalizers. I had an axle flip shackles from spring above equalizer to spring below but I can not get it to go back found bushings on springs and equalizers worn. Is it better to run a heavier spring 8k versus the stock 7k or can it be done with out major surgery. we do travel well loaded because we live in it year round. I am a mechanic and can do the springs and all my self just do not have the tooling to relocate the spring mounts. Im looking to do the morryde 4000 equalizers and wetkit upgrade. 2013 Redwood RW36RL Fifth wheel 36 inch wheel spacing.

Thanks for reaching out, Bret!

If your axles shifted from being located above the equalizers to below your equalizers then it sounds like replacing your bushings, equalizers, and shackle straps will fix the issue. As long as your leaf springs are in good shape you shouldn't need to swap them out either.

The MORryde AllTrek 4000 Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 35" Wheelbase # MR29DR will fit your trailer spacing, and then I recommend using the MORryde Upgrade Trailer Kit to replace your bolts and shackles. This comes in two different variations so you just need to choose the one that best matches the length of your shackle straps (center hole to center hole):

- 2-1/4" Shackle Straps # MR46ZR
- 3-1/8" Shackle Straps # MR76ZR

I really like the shackles that come with these kits because at 1/2" thick they are more durable than the factory shackles that come on trailers.

The best way to find the correct replacement for your equalizer is by measuring the distance from the front shackle hole to rear shackle hole on your current equalizer. The 33" AllTrek #MR89DR has the holes spaced 6-1/2" on center while the…

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…

I understand your worry Tom, and I have a couple recommendations. First is the MORryde ALLTREK 4000 Shock Absorbing Equalizers #MR89DR which has a height of 4-1/2" for the mounting bolts. This is also 6-1/2" in width like the shorter…

Answer 6

It looks like your MORryde ALLTREK 4000 Shock Absorbing Equalizers #MR89DR are longer than your previous equalizers were because your leaf springs are way too close to each other. The shackles should be creating more of a "W" shape instead…

Answer 7

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…

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…

Answer 9

The AllTrek 4000 kits provide the best cushioning so if you were to upgrade from your CRE3000 kit to the Alltrek you would see a big improvement. If you have a 35 inch wheelbase you'd want the part #MR29DR or if you have a 33 inch wheelbase…

Thanks for the pictures! Since your 2022 Grand Design Reflection 303RLS came with the CRE3000 equalizers you will need three of the MORryde X-Factor Crossmember item #MR33WR. It looks like you have the standard 3" wide frame hanger so all of the…

Answer 11

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 12

To correctly measure a leaf spring, you'll want to jack the trailer up on jack stands so the axle is hanging freely, then measure directly across from the center of one spring eye to the other, as shown in the provided diagram. The height of the…
