We replaced the suspension with the Mor ryde IS and also replaced the suspension on our next Montana the 13 3402 the first fall rally it went to some 5 months later and before we hit the road on any extended trip. If you are a high end user we strongly suggest the Mor Ryde IS.

Could not agree more with Rich. Just spent 6 hrs on the side of interstate 70 in Colorado after blowing out the rear axle spring pack on the door side. Have been scheduled for IS install since Feb after the ralley but the potholed road beat me to the punch. As bad as it was I really dodged a bullet. A new pair of spring packs, U bolts, hardware and I will need a new Sailun spare...could have been much worse. Tow company wanted $1200 alone...but that's another story.
