Getting JoyRider installed next week
I drop the camper off on Monday to get the JoyRider Suspension kit (aka shocks) and new Torklift Glowstep Revolution steps installed on the camper. I've heard nothing but good about campers with shock...

I just found this thread while searching around for info on adding shocks and the benefits. I have been thinking of adding shocks to my Lifestyle fiver. Its has 8k axles, 17.5 wheels and disc brakes. I ordered the rig this way and did not opt for the MorRyde independent suspension. I have since thought about it and contacted MorRyde and was quoted a price of $5k plus the trip from FL to Indiana. NOT happening!
So its good to hear that those that have added the shocks notice an improvement.
The Lippert kit looks to be the simplest to install. The Dexter upper brackets are not bolt on but have to be welded. The Lipper and Dexter are comparable in price. The JoyRider is the most expenseive and looks like theres more parts.
My question would be which of the 3 kits has the best quality shock.
One Reviewer reported that he has had to replaced multiple shocks due to leaks.
Any continued input on this thread would be appreciated.
Well the shocks on my Lippert kit were made in China! :(
That said they are doing a great job of keeping the 5er under control. :)
I do travel 101 in Oregon and 26, 6, and 18 to the coast all have suffered from too much rain, ODOT works hard at repairs, but we do have rough spots. The shocks keep the fiver under control, when I feel thay are failing I will find a quality replacement. Currently they are doing a great job!
