Been waiting a long time on this post!

Okay, Thanks. What I am reading more then anything in your post, is eliminating the possibility of a suspension failure. That is certainly a valid point, BUT a person can spend a few hundred , beef up the shackles , X-factor as you said ,etc etc. I'm thinking the SRE is not that much different then the LRE I had. If I heard more then going over bridge entrances , then I would consider it .


I have towed four different fifth wheels all with leaf spring suspension, one with shocks, and can't speak for this present one ,but never an issue at all with the suspension .

I towed for 12 years with the MorRyde LRE ,and MorRyde pin box. ,not bad at all, but this Comfort Ride, is a better riding suspension then the LRE . All I have now is just the conventional pin box, yet its still a smoother ride.

I have towed fifth wheel with a variety of different suspensions...My first fiver has the basic suspension and I had an issue with a high nose .. While I was in Indiana at the KZ factory, they hooked me up with the folks at Morryde...

That was an unbelievable upgrade from the stock system..

Fast Forward to 2015 when I got my 1st Redwood..It had the basic suspension as well. Not wanting ( or able to ) add the IS , I went to the sre4000 with X factor supports. This was a nice upgrade to the stock ride.. then I swung a deal with Morryde and took that leap yet again ..

Fast forward again to 2019.. very happy with the Redwood, then Mr. Tree had something to say about that and made me loose that RV...

The new Redwood came stock with the Morryde SRE 4000... we were unable to arrange the Redwood to get the IS installed while the RV was still at the factory so we had to take receipt of It as is with no IS.... We planned to get it taken to Indiana after our 1st short trip to get the IS installed... When we got home from that trip, we really discussed the fact that the Ride with the Morryde pinbox AND SRE400 was awesome !

The REASON I still went ahead with the upgrade was the fact that these RV manufacturers don't usually BEEF up the other parts down there... I had heard a few stories about broken springs on these heavier trailer along with spring hangers ect . . .
No more springs, shackles, hangers, equalizers, wet bolts, dry bolts whatever.....

The ride between the sre4000 and IS is pretty darn close.... real close for that matter ( IN MY OPINION ) except at bridge entrances, the IS shines there ... BUT the IS removes all chances of another weak link in the suspension breaking ...

For THOSE reasons combined, I consider it second to none ... AGAIN.. ONLY MY ( and DW ) OPINION

You tell me. 8k left 7k two on right.

Have always been a little skeptical of IS ,disc brakes etc. Now with this new newer fifth wheel with disc brakes I'm a believer at least with the disc brakes compared to drum. This fifth wheel had also had a suspension upgrade to the Comfort Ride with shocks.

I have nothing to compare it too, other then the MorRyde LRE suspension on my previous fifth wheel . I couldn't possibly ask for a smoother towing fifth wheel, very nice ,and I thought my old Montana towed pretty well with the MorRyde suspension. I guess my point is when I read the claims about MorRyde IS , "NOTHING" comes close, just makes me wonder how that claim can be made , pretty bold statement . No doubt the MorRyde IS is the best, just wondering what is there one gets with IS upgrade.

Possibly if I had ruined a bunch of tires ,and springs I would think differently, but have never had a suspension problem other then having to replace the shear springs on my previous MorRyde LRE suspension.

Nothing like a one ton Ford diesel to instill confidence.

Make sure you have your suspension height adjustment in the (raise axles for 4wd) or the lower of the two holes of the spring hangers. That will raise it about 2 inches until you decide to do an axles upgrade.
Also, if you don't have one already do your trailer a favor and get a Trailersaver air hitch or something similar. Its a huge impact absorber between your truck and pin box.

Congrats on the truck. You have a great RV to go with it. Don't replace it with some new model junk. A new one may have more glitz and glam but won't be built like the Cameo. Safe travels.

Very interesting and informative.

Simply nothing out there that comes close!
