Mor/Ryde SRE 4000 upgrade
The sound bar that I installed over the TV in the cubby in the RD kept ending up on the floor on every trip . It`s kinda heavy so this told me the back of the camper and the camper as a hole must be really bouncing and the back must have a whipping effect to get this thing to come off the shelve with a lip on the front.
I decided to install the Mor/Ryde SRE 4000 suspension upgrade over the failed attempt of a better solution by Keystone with the Road Armour suspension to keep the back of the camper from bouncing and whipping so much. The AD boasts 4 inch of travel you can`t get with the standard suspension to soften out the bumps. Well the investment works ( around $400.00) very well at clamming down the bouncing so much so the bar stays put now. 45 minute install no special tools needed. I`m going to forgo the shocks I was planning on installing now.
Not sure how people with rear kitchen's keep things in order or do they?

With any trailer, the rear end is where the ride is roughest. Glad you've been able to calm it down as I'd guessed you'd not been entirely pleased with any RV shock add on. We had a 2000 2850RK rear kitchen … we just isolated kitchen essentials as needed and got by the best we could.

You've made a big difference, for us though wel're going all the way and getting IS. A lot more money, however.

IS Independent Suspension. They remove your springs and axles and weld on 4 or 6 independently moving suspension arms. Works well, but really expensive.

Expensive yes, but if you tally up what some have spent in upgrades and still have issues, not quite as expensive if done in the beginning before spending money on upgrades and not fix the issue.

Had our Montana 3791 for 8 months now. So far no problems or upgrades. But our thoughts are to Upgrade before there ever Is a problem. We have the Road Armor with heavy duty shackels and wet bolt kit installed now with the Legacy package.

I installed the SRE-4000 on ours a couple of years and noticed a huge difference in things not flying around inside. We just returned from a trip to Alaska and I hate to think what would have come loose had we not had the SRE-4000. Is the MorRyde IS a better solution? I guess it is if money is no object, but I am completely happy with SRE-4000.
