5th Wheel Suspension Upgrade Problem
Time to rebuild/upgrade the shackles/bushing on the Cruiser.
I bought the heavy duty shackle and wet bolt kit from MoRyde. I had recently had to replace the EquaFlex equalizers due to damage.
Installing the bronze bushing went well except they will not go into the EquaFlex equalizer. I thought all of the suspension bushing, whether plastic or bronze were pretty much interchangeable on 6000 lbs. axles but apparently not.
I did the same thing on the last trailer except used the Dexter rubber equalizers. They worked fine. Any ideas except drilling the EquaFlex out?
Shoulda used the Dexter product this time also I guess.
