E-Z Flex worth $80??

Well worth he money! I did it and it made a noticeable change in how the trailer handles behind my excursion.

Your going to have it apart so just get the entire setup.

I've been looking in to doing the EZ Flex add on to my Salem 29ud3, I was also wondering what the benefits would be.

Installed the EZ-Flex in 2009, and it makes a world of difference. Really suppresses shocks normally transmitted to the TV by anything the trailer tires encounter (control joints, etc.). Plates, bowls, cookware and stuff in the galley stays where you put it.

Yes, especially if your going to have everything torn apart anyways swap out the equalizers.

Yes, one of those things that are actually worth the money. The difference on our triple axle toyhauler was night and day after I installed the EZ-Flex. Now the expansion joints and bridge approaches are annoyances rather than whiplash creators.

Did it on mine before we left on a trip to FL and back to TN and I thought it made a world of difference in handling. The shackles and equalizers are twice as heavy duty as the original equipment and thus sturdier. As others have said, it smoothes out those bumps that were real hitch jerkers before. I am impressed and very pleased with my upgrade, and I paid about what you have said, 160ish. If you are not moderately mechanically inclined have a shop install it for you, if you are then expect it to take you a good day or 2. Watch the video that's posted on here about the install process. Its good in letting you know what to expect.

Take a look at this thread for lots of info about the system and how to install it yourself. Many of our members, including myself, have installed it and posted about it there - with pictures.

Absolutely worth the $80. Trailer does not transmit nearly the harsh road feedback it did. Wife's uncle installed it based on my recommendation and he said his FW rides nearly as well now as it did with shocks. He has yet to purchase new ones. I wouldn't hesitate to do it to any trailer I purchased in the future. In my opinion it's the best money I've spent for the camper.

I installed them on our previous fiver and was very happy. Would do it again.

I have them and I think they help but are a bit overrated.
