Vehicle suspension
« on: April 06, 2026, 05:06:38 pm »
I recently ordered the suspension option MorRyde RSX System for my 2351D (26 ft) unit which will be in production soon. My question, is it worth or needed to upgrade to liquid springs? I currently own a similar size B+ (not Phoenix) unit, a 2013 with a Chevy Express 3500 chassis with over 200,000 miles. It has original standard suspension from Chevy and I've had no sway or poor handling conditions over the past 13 years of ownership. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Our 2552 has the MorRyde suspension and we think it rides very well.  Not harsh at all.  I don't see the need for the LS suspension and wouldn't want the extra weight.

That MorRyde is an interesting system, appearing to address the worst of the rear suspension complaints, but time will tell concerning the longevity of the rubber interface between the leaf springs and the chassis.  One thing it has going for it is it's simplicity.

Liquid Spring is a very expensive, evasive, and complex system that I shy away from for those reasons.  If the system fails during a trip, I would not be confident in finding a reputable company in a remote area that could address the system failure.

In the world of RVing, the term KISS comes up often.

K - Keep
I - It
S - Simple
S - Stupid

Everyone has their own idea of where the threshold is.  My threshold is lower than many others on forums.  If we lived in our motorhome seasonally, I could see increasing the threshold of KISS.  The MorRyde system easily falls within my personal threshold.
