With the Alko IS system, you have axles, but there are 4 versions where the spindle is moulded in at anyone of the 4 positions to change ride height.....

So DRV puts axles on the RV in order to transport the unit to MorRyde for the conversion? How far apart are the two plants?

Less than an hour. All the Indiana factories are in the same general area.

There are several options.

Lippert makes a product that is used to correct axle alignment and will also raise the RV up 2 inches.

Its called Lippert Correct Tract.

For tandem leaf spring applications.

The Morryde system is installed when they build the trailers. They go to Morryde to be aligned.
