Trailer Suspension Upgrade / Help
We love our 5th wheel. Well, for the most part anyway. I'll say this right off the bat, I would never buy another rear kitchen model. It seems most every trip we take something in the kitchen breaks. ...

I didn't say there were no problems, just that we have minimized them. If the SRE4000 would soften my trailer ride even more, it may be worthwhile.
I have the spec sheet, but am not going to lay in the snow and 25 degree temps to measure. Plenty of time for that in the spring as we are planning a late summer trip that should pass us by the MorRyde plant.
What pressure do you have those 16" tires at? I replaced my 15" Blow Max LRD with Maxxis LRE. So the old tires were at 65 lbs and, when I mentioned that I was running the Maxxis at 70, someone strongly suggested I run them at 80. But looking at tire load charts, it seems they should be pressured for the load they will carry. Methinks I would have a softer ride at 70 lbs and more load capacity than I had with the old tires. If you are running the 16" tires at 100 lbs, that may be part of your ride problem.
I forget where you are! We will be up there next fall for a visit. Anyway, I guess I wouldn't get under there in the snow either but after getting under mine I found I only have 1.75" of clearance and need (according to Mor/ryde) 3" minimum. If I decide I need to go to either the SRE3000 or the CRE4000 I will need to have my suspension altered.
I run my tires at 80 psi. How do I determine if I can run them any lower and would I really want to?
