You want to place some load on the front axle. Old school days you would mount kingpin 2" ahead of center of rear axle. Full forward is best unless you have some sort of clearance issue.

If ordering a new RAM I highly advise the factory rear air ride.

Sounds good. I just ordered today since my new rig is over by a few thousand pounds on my 06's limits. Ordered crew cab, 8ft box, 4.10, Rear air, 5th prep, dually, Limited, Aisin

Lowest setting full forward with straight side of hitch head support arms towards the cab. I have 6" 0f bed clearance and a level RV with air bag a little low.

Why do you have the arms on the forward holes instead of the middle holes? I am ordering a new ram soon and going to get the same hitch. On B&W doc's it says the middle holes are used for over the axles and wouldn't that be the best spot ?

We just finished up with MORryde on Thursday. We spent two days and one night in their shop in Elkhart, IN having a 3" spacer added between the frame and MORryde IS suspension so our RV would ride level.

Upon arrival Wednesday AM we were greeted by Keith he is the guy that actually does the work. He had me place the truck and RV on a level area and we measured how far out of level the RV was and what our height was at the highest point on the roof to the ground. Originally I thought a 2" riser was the only option but after measuring Keith said 3" was the way to go and the highest point on the roof to the ground would be 13' 5" when complete.

Keith is a great guy, he has worked there for 16 years, Really knows his job. The brake lines were a jumbled mess from DRV's installation. They rip all that off and start over. The result is a VERY professional installation with no chance of the brake lines rubbing to being torn off with a blowout.

Rob Kolean is the service manager and he is who I coordinated this with months ago. Great guy everything he told me was spot on. He was involved in the work making sure everything was going good. He even gave us a personal tour Friday, VERY impressive!!!

Lunch is provided but we were sight seeing and did not get to partake.

There were three others there to have the MORryde IS added while we were there. And more coming in when we left. Very busy place.

We are over by a few hundred pounds on our axles and thought we may need to go to the 9K version but Keith inspected the rubber springs and said they were siting within specs and the rubber springs were in great condition. Nice they were honest about that, others may have said oops you are 8,001# and overloaded now you need the 9K.

I would recommend anyone needing the lift or wanting a kingpin installed or a 7, 8 or 9K MORryde IS system installed contact Rob!

$$ ??

About $1,800 out the door. The factory option was 3-$400.

$1800.00 out the door is kinda low...... I have heard quotes right around 3K for the 7k set up, and 4K for the 8k set up....
My quote is $3100.00 ..

*** on edit , I see that you only had the spacer work done , the IS was already there... My misread......

3 alpenlite owners that I know had mor/ryde installed at the same month a few years ago. Two of them left the factory with no brakes, the 3rd and one of the othertwo had to stay one more day because of building the wrong length left to right. The 3rd asked me why does his 36 ft alpenlite bounce going down the road and he gets this question from others following him.

Two have died and I just missed seeing the 3rd to ask how he fixed the problem.

I do feel it is a good product if needed.

Which MorRyde system? Our Mobile Suites came with the MorRyde independent suspension system, and I certainly haven't experienced any of the problems you cite in the 2 years we've owned it.

I have an appointment at MORRyde the 2nd week of June for my IS installation.. First stop is Tiara RV in Elkhart for an Onan 6.5 install, then that afternoon to MORRyde for the next 2 days...
We were there back in 2010 having the IS installed on our last fiver...
Thier facility and workers are second to none...... Hands down

Have you asked Cummins/Onan in Elkhart for a price to do the same install? Also I would recommend the Commercial 6500 as it has 220V and will run a 220V dryer.

I have the LP, if I were to do it again I think I would go GAS or even look into diesel. LP is thirsty!

I did, they were 200 more.. I am also getting some warranty work done at tiara. While there for the day...then the next 2 days at Morryde

Good deal! I would have assumed Cummins/Onan would have been less.

If you get Keith at MORryde just roll your eyes and say I have heard about you! Then tell him I said he did a great job and you are lucky to have him. I also heard the other guy is great also.
