Jayflight 28bhbe
Hi, we just traded our 17' Dutchmen Aerolite in on a new Jayco Jayflight 28bhbe. We needed more room (new addition). So far we really like it. It seems better insulated, and quieter than the Aerolite was. I love reading all the great info on these websites. Just wanted to say hi and hope y'all have safe travels this year! PB.

Welcome from Harrisburg, PA and another 28BHBE Owner.
You will also find a lot of excellent information on this forum from other 28BHBE owners on mods and things they did to their 28BHBE trailers in the search.
For example:
https://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f...hbe-30052.html
https://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f...hbe-34011.html
https://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f...ods-51773.html
And MANY MORE.

I have the 2016 28BHBE (purchased new in October 2015) with the CRE mor ride 3000 suspension. Has anyone ordered a wet bolt kit for this? Where did you order it from. We are planning on making a long trip and I think this should be done.

I just ordered/installed a dexter EZ-flex kit from etrailer. It came with wetbolts and bigger shackles. They need to do a better job on packaging because everything was thrown in the box taking a beating during shipping. I had two grease zerks broke off in the bolt head when i opened the box. Not a huge deal. Also be sure to get All tires off the ground when installing, it will make things easier. But AMAZON an E TRAILER both have what your loking for.

What is the difference between the wet bolt kit ands ez-flex kit?
How long did it take to install? I am seriously contemplating getting this done.

I did the CRE3000 (rubber equalizer) and the wet bolt kit at the same time. Total start to finish 2.5 hours. Not very difficult if you are mechanically inclined.
