SHOCKing Discovery that is Good

This is my Third Eagle. I have loved everyone of them. I have always wanted to improve the suspension but I would be priced out of the urge to do the mod … until my 2021 314RLOK.

It already has the MORryde® CRE-3000™ rubberized suspension and prepped for shocks.

Reached out to eTrailer.com and they hooked me up with Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280.

It took about 20 mins to install.

I took it for a 1 hour drive on different terrain and the rocking back and forth was gone.

Very nice. I think all trailers and fifth wheels should at least have the shock prep already on from the factory.

I've done the CRE 3000 / Wet bolt upgrade on every trailer I've owned. I've considered shocks and even began fabricating mounts at one point but never followed through to completion. Maybe my 33RBTS will be the first to get shocks...

very nice.

I also wish we could add a $500 add-on to have a piece of steel bolted under the wheel wells of the trailer. This way if you do blow a tire at traveling speeds, it would not tear your trailer a part.

Most do but its a thin galvanized piece barely long enough to cover both axles.
Thought about adding these but very expensive. https://rv-de-fender.com/#introduction
