MorRyde IS

For those who have had this installed, what is the pricing for a 8K system? Just the IS, nothing else.

Thanks

    x2 !

    Did my '05 Newmar two years ago. Had to go to 9k axles, which meant new brake assemblies and drums, which put the whole thing closer to $10k than the original estimate around $6k, but well worth the price!
  • Get a quote from MORryde, then use it to work a deal with your Dealer. Remember, even without the IS you will still be paying for two axles under your unit. Use that info to try and get a little lower price on Factory installed IS vs MORryde. Either way the install will still be done by MORryde, it will just save you two days at MORryde while they do the install.
    Been there, done that several times.

    We are looking at a new rig and they have an option of IS. Comparing their cost to doing it after.


    So you want to pay the manufacturer to put on some tube axles and the labor (which is probably the same as MORride). Then you want to buy the MORryde (I'm sure the manufacturer buys them for less than you can, factor in shipping). Then you want to do a pretty good sized job of switching them.

    And what about the brakes. Does the original have discs? Can you just switch tem? What are you going to do with the old axles? Sell them on Craigslist for $25?

    If you ever have any warranty issues, good luck with that!

    I think this is a no brainer---huge headache vs no headache.

    In my eyes, the mfg will hve the upgrade added, but add on their profit as they don't do anything for free... It may cost less to do it yourself, but be more hassle...

  • I got a price from MORryde last month and they said $4,250 for 8,000lb axles, no brakes. $6,800lbs with disc brakes.
