Joy Rider Shock Absorber Kits

I have a 2016 Keystone Alpine 3900RE, pulled with a 2016 Ram 3500 dually. I'm looking at upgradingthe the suspension to either/both the Joy Rider shock system and MORryde SRE4000. Have not seen enough reviews to be comfortable. Anybody out there who has had several miles put on either system? How well did they work? Any part failure issues? Thanks.

I don’t know if you are familiar with Big Truck Big RV on YouTube. He installed both Joyriders and the SRE 4000 system on his trailer. I’ll post a couple of links for you. Initially he installed Never Fail bushings using grease which is a no no. Later he replaced them with wet bolts.

Not familiar with Big Truck Big RV, I'll take a look, thanks. I have seen a review that the Joy Rider shock brackets may be prone to crack at a bend but I think it was after about 25k miles. I may just start with MORryde SER4000 and see how it goes.

Since you are going to put on the SRE4000, that would be the time to install shocks as well. Someone must have hit one heck of a bump to crack a bracket. It makes me wonder if the shock had failed.
