With all the chatter lately about folks installing the IS , and lowering the jack mounts to make up for the difference , I have a question..

Since I am adding the IS in June , IF they raise my trailer up by 2" and I have to lower my mounts so I do not stroke out , DO I have to recalibrate the system ??

I would think not , but that usually gets me in trouble (thinking) :woohoo:

I've had the Mor/ryde IS on both RWs and haven't had an "Out of Stroke" issue unless the site was unusually un even.
The Guys at Mor/ryde will measure your RW hooked to your TV to check the frame to ground distance and them generally add their subframe to keep the same distance. Now at times it will raise your unit some because the material they use only comes in certain sizes.

I had the IS installed on my prior fifth wheel and it raised it about 3".. I DID NOT have the auto level on that trailer , it just meant that I had to hand crank them that much farther.!

No, but it only takes about 10 seconds to do it so why not.

I just had the IS installed last week on my 38RL and I had to lower my 4 rear jacks two holes which is equivalent to 2 inches. I then recalibrated. It takes less than an hour to lower jacks and recalibrate.

I have found over the last 18 mths that the leveling system should be recalibrate every 8 mths or so. Being fulltime and on the jacks 98 per cent of the time the drivers side will eventually drop down some what. I guess because it carries the most weight. Nothing leaking but it will go down 1/4 bubble on the level. It is easy to see when that happens as the dogs golf balls start to head to that side of the trailer

Nice leveling system you have there! 😆

I too had to lower mine after installing the center point air ride system.

Thanks Ken , did you recalibrate?

You can recalibrate twice a week if you want to, it's so simple just do it.

Joe,
Yes, I recalibrate often

We had the MorRyde IS and disc brakes installed about a year ago. We never lowered the jacks. So based on what I am reading, it appears to be relatively easy. One concern is potential stress on the attached hydraulic hoses. Did any of you, that lowered the jacks, see any issues with the hydraulic hoses?

John,
Yes, there was a limited about of hose to lower the center jacks, so we dropped them as much as the hose would allow. The rear had plenty of hose. I used Lippert's specs of 10".

The other issue we had was trying to take the nuts off using a socket and breaker bar. We badly galled the first nut. The solution was to use an impact wrench. They came off clean an easy with one.

I had no problems with the hydraulic hoses when I lowered my four rear jacks. There was plenty of hose to do the job. Use a impact gun if you have access to one. I used a battery operated impact gun and it worked great. Torque nuts to 52-64 ft. lbs. as per Lippert.

Joe - on my 36RL the height only increased bout 1/2" after the IS. Jacks were never and have never been an issue. If mine would have raised 2" it wouldn't sit level with the truck again.
