There are two types of suspension that MOR/RYDE builds as you know.We had the four way totally indipendent type put in {it's called torsion spring I think}.They cut the springs and all shackels out from under the unit.Then they install metal spacers to raise the unit because there is so much travel in each wheel that they would hit the bottom of the unit with out spacers.The no. of spacers may very between each unit for various reasons.
Unless you get the never lub hubs they use your brakes and hub assy.If you get the NLH's then you get all new everything at a cost of about $300.00 per axel extra. Our entire set up was about $2500.00,which is expensive unless you plan to keep your unit for a LONG time.
The reason we went to the never lub hubs and the power rear jacks is because I have NO Rotator Cuffs and a fuzed back with 2 steel rods in it,I also have an Artifical Right Shoulder joint.I did mechanic work for most of my life in some form or another and them did Masonry work for 10 years.Now I have too do it the easy way.
