Today we are replacing our RV suspension and making a SIGNIFICANT RV suspension UPGRADE! Two years ago, I replaced our RV leaf springs. At that time, there were major issues with getting parts in a timely manner...so I did the best I could at the time and reused many of the original RV suspension parts. Fast forward to now...I discovered our leaf spring bushings have failed! Originally, I was going to just replace the leaf spring bushings, but upon further inspection, I decided to bite the bullet and do a complete replacement of our RV suspension! This includes new 6 leaf RV leaf springs, new U bolts, MORRyde CRE3000 Equalizer, MORRyde heavy duty shackles, bronze leaf spring bushings, and all new wet bolts from MORRyde. We will also be replacing our tires with Sailun S637 235/85/16 tires! Below are the Amazon links for all of the parts we used when replacing our RV suspension!
