[@MasterchiefAVCM]

Just love that 40 lb air impact torque wrench!

[@outbacker292]

Just installed this same suspension upgrade today. Having never done this before, took about 6.5 hours from when I began lifting my coach, to when I torqued the last lug nut after I put my coach back on the ground. Key is working your jacks under the axles to get the springs lined up to install the new wet bolts. And the serrated wet bolts, be ready to give'em hell to get in.

[@fasteddie617]

Always looks easy with the right tools 👍 Nice work. I'll end up paying someone to do this.

[@clint3651]

Makes a big difference when pulling

[@NursingOurTravelBug]

Thank you for this thorough, step by step installation. We just got these parts to upgrade on our 5th wheel. This helps a lot!

[@morrydeinc]

We hope you enjoy your new step upgrade!

[@NursingOurTravelBug]

@@morrydeinc we would love to have the step upgrade, perhaps we should save for that. For now we are are just upgrading part of the suspension.

Very important item you forgot is --- locate the grease opening to the 9 and 3 o'clock position. I have not been able to grease one side of mine because what your rep said at an rv show it was installed wrong at the 12 o'clock position.

[@michaelryan9143]

At 2:16 instructions are to put the zerks to the inside but at 0:05, the picture has them on the outside.

[@46fd04]

If the zerks can be accessed from the outside, with the wheels on, I would install them on the outside too. Makes it easier for greasing them.

[@foleylaplume]

I just purchased this system and plan on installing it this coming weekend. My question is what grease should I use for the wet bolts?

[@morrydeinc]

Hello! We recommend hi-temp lithium grease

[@foleylaplume]

@@morrydeinc Thank you

[@corn_fed_ls4920]

What is the tool you use to push the old bushings out? Specifics?

[@FollowingtheFitchs]

Looks to me like an air hammer with a bushing driver bit.

[@doddfamilyministry6880]

How much time is involved

[@Weak_juan]

12mm socket fits well. Just use that and a hammer to get the old bushings out.

[@ScottDLR]

Personally, I just used the new bushing to push the old one out.

[@brentdreamer2025]

I see there are floor jacks being used, are they for support or are they needed to move the axles up and down during bolt installation? Also can I pull out one bolt at a time without the axles or suspension bouncing around and hitting me?

[@morrydeinc]

Brent, please reach out to [e-mail] and we can send you the detailed instructions for installing these. Or call us at 574-293-1581 and ask for Parts.

[@opaandomascampingadventures]

Does it matter which direction the grease supply hole in the bolt is pointing when installing??

[@morrydeinc]

Hello! The grease zerk may be installed on the inside or outside. However, there is a benefit to putting the zerk on the inside as you don’t have to remove the tires to apply grease.

[@opaandomascampingadventures]

@@morrydeinc yes. We know that. We were talking about the hole in the bolt where the grease goes in the bushing. Does it matter what direction it’s pointing??

[@morrydeinc]

@@opaandomascampingadventures the grease exit hole should face sideways

[@adamgermond8483]

The wet bolts must be pounded in so the splines are seated. This information is in the online instructions, but not in the directions I received with my kit. The online instructions also say tighten to 40 ft/lbs. The instructions I received said 50 ft/lbs.

[@morrydeinc]

Hello! The nuts should be tighten to 40 ft-lbs. Depending on the kit, it may not have included the most updated instructions as the dealer/distributor could’ve had the kit for a while.

[@adamgermond8483]

@@morrydeinc Are the nuts supposed to be treated with Blue Loctite during installation?

[@adamgermond8483]

Re-looking at the video, I can see all that blue stuff on the bolt threads is grease. That can change the torque value and should not be done. Maybe the video should be re-shot showing how the bolts are driven in (hammer and socket is one way) and the nuts are installed cleanly (no grease on threads).

[@morrydeinc]

@@adamgermond8483 Thank you for your comments. We are aware of this issue with the video and are currently working on a new one.

[@roachj4able]

What is that red tool that pushes out the shackles sleeves and what size it the attachment? Didn't see that tool in the beginning of tools needed.

[@morrydeinc]

Our shop uses an air chisel to remove the old bushings, but this is not a required tool to complete the installation of the CRE and the wet bolt kit. I have attached a link to download the installation instructions for your reference: www.morryde.com/products/heavy-duty-shackle-kit/. Please select “Product Docs” and then the “Wet Bolt Installation Instructions”. You can also reach out to our Parts Team at [e-mail] for any other specific questions.

I am trying to figure out if I need a 33" or 35" for my 2020 Grand Design Imagine 2800 BH. Can you help?

Please check out our qualifier to determine which model you need on your unit. www.morryde.com/uploads/downloads/1573481730-MOR367-CRE3000%20Qualifier_v8.pdf

[@stevenscott4096]

I emailed MorRyde customer support. Gave them the model of our camper and they came right pack with the appropriate kit. Very fast response.

[@morrydeinc]

@@stevenscott4096 Glad to hear it Steven! If you need anything from us in the future or have questions, let us know.

@@stevenscott4096 I tried their Chat with an Agent to try to get the right part numbers after I provided my RV info, and they responded with "Which part numbers are you interested in?" After some back and forth I told the agent "Nevermind". I'll try email instead.

[@ryang1741]

So should the wet bolts be hammered into place?

[@morrydeinc]

Hello! You can hammer them in as long as you use a pipe or small diameter socket to fit over the grease zerk

[@keithast7949]

Does anyone know if this will lift the camper in the rear or lower it? I need a little more rear lift to level my caper out. Thank you

[@morrydeinc]

Thanks for your question! The CRE3000 will only lift the trailer if the equalizer that is currently on the unit is shorter than the CRE3000. If the equalizer is taller than the CRE3000, then our product will lower it.

[@Humble-Engine]

How many hrs of labor does this install call for?

[@morrydeinc]

With the tools used in this video, the approximate amount of labor time is 4 hours.

[@mattsmith3305]

How often do you recommend adding new grease to the wet bolts?

[@morrydeinc]

Hi, Matt! We recommend every 15,000 miles or two years, whichever comes first.

[@goodboyringo9716]

What causes the equalizer to sit with an angle or is this normal ?

[@46fd04]

The trailer is probably not running level.

[@braddixon2469]

Will this raise my camper any?

[@morrydeinc]

The CRE3000 typically does not raise the trailer height at all.The SRE4000 on average raises the trailer by 3/4" to 1". Sometimes less and sometimes more depending on the set up of your trailer.

[@rss021815]

I don't think the target consumer has air jacks and air hammers. Perhaps a video like the real world customer does it? Oh and the second guy doing the other side. I might not be so grumpy but the music gave me a headache.

[@Brent-p8w]

Get rid of the music
