Hello Keith. We do carry a lot of option for break kits, wheel seals, wet bolts and equalizers that may fit your Forest River camper. These kinds of parts are not custom fitted though, so there is no way to look up your RV to know exactly what parts you will need. The best way for you to determine what parts you need will be to inspect and measure the current parts then try to find a match.

The brakes are going to be the easy part since there are only a few standard sizes. If you can tell me your axle weight capacity, I can find the right brake assemblies for you.

For the seals, pulling one and measuring with a caliper, or getting the number off of the seal are the best ways to determine the right size. We can also use the inner and outer bearing sizes and axle capacity to narrow down the correct seal.

For the suspension components, you will need to measure the length of the current shackle straps. Shackles are measured from center hole to center hole. The same goes for the equalizers. Measure the length across center to center, as well as the height. Once you have these measurements, we will be able to narrow down options for replacement.

For example, the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit # MR46ZR comes with 2-1/4" long shackles and comes with wet bolts. If your shackles are also 1-1/4" long this is definitely what I recommend. If you need a different size just let me know your shackle length as well as the equalizer measurements and I am happy to make a recommendation.
