"Lifting" the 29.5 BHDS

[datx]

Awesome! Curious what sort of improvement the new tires make.

Side note - I started researching the "wet bolt" kit.. I've never heard of that before.. I've started hearing a pop whenever stopping and turning that I always thought was coming from the hitch .. I use the ultimate fifth wheel hitch on a gooseneck ball.. according to the lit I can find, it shouldn't need greasing, so I was skeptical that was the actual problem.

Is that what you heard and why you went with the wet bolt kit?

Here is what you’ll want. My concern was in the shackles. I heard clicking in there and it got to the point where any movement was obnoxious. When I took the bolts out they had wear marks. I’m glad I made the upgrade.

Those look great!

1) Thanks for doing the videos .. It's great to see that stuff..

2) So if I'm correct, you installed:

- MORryde UO12-016 Heavy Duty Shackle Upgrade Kit
- Adjusted hangers
- Swap wheels tires with 16inch wheel 235/80/16 tires Goodyear Endurance Tire

You mentioned in your first video something about installing a piece between the two plates and avoiding tight turns on your next trip. Could you elaborate on what kit? I'm creating a shopping list and going to probably just mirror this exact setup.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the kind words. Yes you are correct on the steps I accomplished.

Here is what I will be getting to add support.



I know you’ll be very happy with it. The towing dynamic has changed and in my opinion it has been noticeable in the positive direction. It pulls straight and its solid.
