Cre3000 to CRE4000

deleted

We also went from the Lippert equivalent of the 3000 to the MorRyde SRE4000. Night and day difference! The Lippert cushioned equalizer never seemed to make a difference. Like the OP with the 4000 we only feel the trailer hit bumps 2% of the time. We have had a MORryde 18k pin box with both suspensions, but when upgrading to the SRE4000 we also added the three X-factor cross members, one across each spring hanger front an rear an across the center ...

I will also say most of the time with the SRE4000 the microwave plate is still in place after a drive while it never was before the LCI suspension as well our coffee pot, toaster never moves now on the counter top :)

I did the 026s on a old Eagle we had, but it had been raised all the way up. I never did it again because after less than 2 years they were worn out.
I do like the look of the Joyrider's kit. Lowers the the lower mount for lot more travel. A lot more choices in that style of mount also. But for those $$ I would do Trailair pinbox

Did you do both 4000 & Joyrider at same time ?

Monroe 555001 Compressed Length 7.875" Extended Length 11.875" Travel Length 4.000"
Monroe 555026 Compressed Length 8.625" Extended Length 13.500" Travel Length 4.875"
Both are Stem Mount, with rubber bushings.

Thanks but I had that info way back. Without moving to Hole for highest ground clearance which I don't need any more height , 13'2" now. I have the longer 026 and with the rubber mounts you can't install without removing spring from shackles then you have very little compression travel & will bottom out which is worse than no shock absorber. The shorter just the opposite. Like I said LCI sending me new mounts FREE.

I knew someone out there would step up.

We went from the Lippert equivalent of the 3000 to the 4000. Night and day difference! The Lippert cushioned equalizer never seemed to make a difference. With the 4000 we only feel the trailer hit bumps 2% of the time--like never. Note: we had a MORryde pin box with both systems. Part of the time with the 4000 the microwave plate is still in place after a drive while it never was before the 4000. Our next new trailer will get a 4000 or IS immediately.

I talked to LCI again today about the shock mounts being welded from the factory. I had a different person today, Katie , and she is sending me the mounts from the addon kit that the others have been telling me can't get. I have to say LCI sometimes does do right.
When they arrive will remove the welded ones, may just mount on the inboard side while doing the wet bolts. If not a great improvement will reconsider the 4000

I will be installing the 4000 as an upgrade just need to find the time.

If we were full time probably would but for 5 or 6 trips a year and usually only couple hours drive not really smart money. Heck, on the fence about upgrading the equalizer due to $ .

I will be installing the 4000 as an upgrade just need to find the time.
