Yep, got it on my 5er.......Tandem equalizer spring setup with a rubber dampning mechanism in the middle .....love it........


They also make a pin box mechanism but I've not seen it, and I think it's a little on the pricey side...

I installed the 'Equa-flex' system by Trailair on my 5er. It's a similar product and it made all the difference in the world. Especially if you're on a bumpy road.

I know these guys. Very good company. Their suspension system is about the best you can get for a trailer. The adaptor for the 5th wheel tongue takes out a bit of the shock. It works well with our TrailerSaver 5th wheel hitch.

I'd highly recommend them.

this system was on the truck rear end.we ended up buying the truck from classis chassis, it was a 2000 f350 2wd cc lb 7.3 at @120k.i drove the truck back a couple of hundred miles and it did help the rear end ride a little. i believe it will really make a difference with a trailer.thanks for your replies.

Well, after 197k miles/8yrs on the road, switched over to their "IS" system (independant suspension) and elect-hyd disc brakes. Amazing. Should have done it upon hitting road had it been avail back then.

Super company, excellant customer service & installation

No more broken springs, worn spring hangars/bolts. (No, I'm not overloaded)
Just alot of miles on metal parts

Both myself and my friend have Morryde on our fifth wheels. I have the pin box as well. With both you can hardly tell you are towing anything. Very smooth.

My Everest has the Mor/Ryde suspension and coupled with my Airsafe hitch you hardly feel when it the camper hits a bump. Takes a lot of wear and tear out of the camper and truck not to mention the driver.
