Road Armor vs CRE3000
I am planning a 5K+ mile trip this summer and want to update the suspension on my Travel Trailer (see signature). The two systems that I am considering are the CRE300 and the Road Armor - along with ...

I have read a fair number of complaints about the MoRyde. Lippert has several different designs (sizes and shapes) and you need to pick the one that best simulates the existing rigid equalizer you have now.
I have not installed one due to the design of my equalizer vs what is on the market.
I have a Dexter equalizer that is identical to this one. It is unusual in its height and short distance between the front and back shackle bushings (six inches) The problem is, it is 4 inches high.
The closest fit is this Lippert Road Armor unit, but it is 3-1/2 inch so it would lower my trailer a quarter inch (half the amount it is shorter) and I already had to go with 2-1/4 long shackles to get the thick ones and longer bolts, as the only 2 inch ones were super thin, like I had originally. Cannot stand to have the trailer any lower.
For me, this one is way too small.
For me, this is the proper 4 inch height but an inch and a half too much spread, possibly a problem.
Nothing else comes close for me. HINT, Etrailer has these pics with dimensions added for most of their equalizers, some don't but they do give the two critical dimensions in those cases (mostly Dexter products are the ones lacking pics w/dims) You may need to scroll to the bottom of the page to see them for some products.
