EZ-Flex or Shocks

I have a new 2007 327RLT Mountaineer 5th wheel that has no EZ Flex system or shocks under it. I have alot of bounce to the point that cabnet doors are opening from going down the road. Can someone who has put one or the other please comment on what thay have done and how well it has worked for them. This 5th wheel has no shock brakets and would need to weld the upeer shock brackets on.

I put shocks on our 2006, 3000rk after we got it, it does help with the bounce and swayon the rear kitchen. Dexter now list a kit that has shocks and both upper and lower bkts. I had a fab shop do the installation and it took them about 4-5 hours

I installed the shock kits on our 09 3400RL last October. Dexter has the kits and likely you will have to drill holes and bolt the brackets to the frame, not an easy job. We also have the Mor-Ryde suspension, but the bounce to a hop over rail ways etc. really annoyed me. After installing the shocks the Monty rides very smooth with no bounce. Majority of upper end fifth wheels have shocks that come installed at the factory.
Would like to see this as an option on the Montanas.

Hi Dave...I had the Trailair, equaflex put on my trailer at the fall rally and what a difference. It really smoothened out the ride. The equaflex is now standard on the Mountaineers and the Alpine.
