I'm thinking of upgrading my suspension on my tandem axle toy hauler with the Morryde 3000 and wet bolt shackle kit. From what I have found the parts should be just under $500. I can do the work myself but I try to find out how much a dealership would charge for the installation. Has anybody had this done?I watched a installation video and thy guy said the Dealer set aside four days for the install!!! At most it looks like a one day or less job to me.

I did it and it was a half day with good tools. Pretty easy and a good time to check and adjust wheel bearings and brakes and rotate tires. You’ll be surprised how quiet the suspension is when pulling into a campground too.

Be sure to check out the on line videos about removing the bolts, as one side is press fitted an can not turn.I made a wood block with a shallow hole (large enough to clear the head of the bolt) and then used a large C-clamp to push the bolt out

If you have a sufficient number of jacks and jack stands or blocking it is a pretty basic job. The hardest part is getting the trailer off the ground and supported so that you can work safely. Also be sure that you install the wet bolts so the grease hole is horizontal otherwise you may have trouble getting grease into the bolts.

Is it necessary to lift and support both sides of the trailer or can you do once side at a time?

Much easier if you have an extra pair of hands.
