Suspension question.

Have any of you changed over to the wet bolt system on your Equaflex suspension and where is the best place to get it? Is this a do it yourself job ( I am pretty handy) or dealer job?

Rick, lots of owner have done this. Yes you can do it yourself. Just do one side at a time and have your coach hooked to the truck. Its very hard on the front landing gear to have all the weight on only one leg and tilted over. The nice thing is you get heavier shackles with the kit. Call Lippert and have them send you the kit. They are not that pricey.

Art, he is using the floor jack to support only the weight of the axle itself. The bottle jacks are what is lifting the trailer.
