MORryde

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......
  • 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
  • Since we have the same truck except for the rear air ride, I'm curious where you have the mounting arms on the RVK3600 set for your truck - the middle vertical holes? I'm about to put mine together and thought your experience might save me having to do this 2 or 3 times - our Mobile Suites has the 2" riser from the factory between the frame and MorRyde IS and the Trailair triglide that I believe yours has as well.

  • Nice report and photos. Would love to hear a follow up after a few miles down the road.
