What did you do to your Toy Hauler today???

Very nice pictures Joe, let us know how it all works out. Looks like a great upgrade.

Joe,

Nice job on the install......that is a big job! The E-Z Flex does give a much improved ride. Also, shocks on the suspension would make a big difference as well to control the bounce which I'm sure the E-Z flex is helping to do now. Is there an option to install shocks on these units? Also, the Trailer Saver Air hitch is a great hitch that absorbs a lot of the impact on the pin and reduces fatigue on the hitch/pin/trailer frame and occupants. :)

I'm hoping it will help on concrete highways. With the OEM suspension the chucking is terrible.

Joe,

Please report back once you've tested it out on the road. I have the same all steel stock suspension on my '11 Voltage, and am looking at the EZ Flex and wet bolts.

Regarding chucking, are you running a rigid pin box and hitch? The first month I had our trailer (and same truck), it was a nightmare. Horrible chucking. Felt like the trailer was going to snap off the back of the truck on CA freeways. Since we are full timers, I splurged on a Trail Saver TS3 air hitch, along with air bags on the rear axle, and it solved 99% of the harshness issue, and 90% of the chucking. An air bag pin box would probably do much of what the air hitch does. I now watch the pin box constantly floating up and down on the hitch, and it's amazing how much it moves. Anyways, if the trailer suspension doesn't improve it as much as you want, you might look into adding air to the truck/pin/hitch in some combo.

Most of it went very quickly but some of the little things...

Like the last bushing didn't want to come out and when I was beating on it I whacked my hand with the hammer. *@&$^%@%#!)(!

I contacted Lippert about jacking the frame and they said single point is the way to do it but didn't say where. I picked right behind the wheels and used my 20 ton HF bottle jack. Used a 4x4 between the jack and the frame - by the time I was done, the weight had compressed the wood about 1".
