Suspension upgrade

Next week as long as the weather is cooperative, I plan to install my wet bolt kit on the TH. While I am in this far, I am thinking about another upgrade/change.

Looking for opinions based on first hand experience. I currently have the Equa-flex system on mine, but it is covered in surface rust. I am thinking about going with the E-Z Flex system.

Thoughts?

Here is the E-Z Flex system:

Rust on the outer surfaces is not a problem, as long as none of the pivot points are seized up and the rubber is still in good condition, I would clean the them up an give the a shot of rust paint.

My TT has the Mor-ryde system and they are serviceable, as the rubber can be replaced when it begins to show any cracks.

I don't think any one of these systems are any better than the other, like snake oil salesmen would have us beleive. I don't know about the two systems you are looking at, but to change from the Morryde system to another one on our camper, it's major surgery as the brackets won't match up.

Now if you want the ultimate suspension upgrade, this is it. Independent Suspension System - MORryde Products

It's the one thing I miss from the Airstream the most. It's the best handling trailer suspension I've ever towed.

Yep, and I'm still kicking my butt for not thinking of the torsion axles when I upgraded last year. I was choked when I picked up my new axles and staring me in the eye was a big banner over the counter, advertising the torsion axles that they build on site. When I asked about pricing, I just about fell over. They would have been a few hundred $$ more than the 7k axles I bought.
