Picking Out MORryde Alltrek for 2014 Redwood 5th Wheel

Question

Question:

Trying to determine the correct Moryde suspension products for my 2014 Redwood 5 th wheel. Currently it has a OEM Trail air equalizer in the suspension. The shackles are 3 1/8 C to C. I believe the axles are 7000 lb Dexters. Tires are 235/86-16. I am looking to replace the equalizer and install heavy duty shackles. Please advise with suggested products for this upgrade.

You said you have the Trailair equalizer kit, do you have the part # LC1565391? Reason I ask it the shackle dimension doesn't seem right so I wanted to verify. What is your current axle spacing? From axle center to axle center.

With the trailer sitting on the axles the spacing measures 34 inches. I will try to get numbers and measurements tomorrow.

@MarkS Well you are right between two options from MORryde with the part # MR29DR which fits 35 inch wheelbase and part # MR89DR which fits 33 inch wheelbases. If the distance between the equalizer side bolts is 6.5 inch go with the 33 inch wheelbase or if 8 inch go with the 35 inch.

Answer 12

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…
