Has any one installed the MorRyde IS and have the 17.5 tires? I just had the IS installed and it raised my unit 2 inches which has caused the rear jacks to stroke out. I zero point calibrated the unit and it did not solve the problem. I am looking to lower rear jacks 2 inches. Lippert says this can be done as long as I put back same number of bolts as before. Was wondering if anyone has encountered the same problem.

I have the MorRyde IS installed with 17.5s wheels and G114 tires and don't have an issue.

Now pulled about 2k miles with them and they perform really great.

The jacks are adjustable...Just unbolt and lower them down a notch or two...If nothing else, purchase the Lego blocks but that seems like a lot of extra work....

If it's like most things on these RWs there probably aren't2 that have the jacks mounted the height, I'd lower them a h o le or two, be sure they won't drag, ,& see what happens. Worst case you buy more Lynx Levelers.

If you had the is installed and it raised you by 2"... Just lower the jacks by 2" .

My IS will be installed in about a month, I will know then..

Typically the Guys at Mor/ryde will measure your units frame to ground and then add a sub-frame for the mounting of the IS to keep the frame to ground distance the same, some times it might be off by an inch or so just because of the sizes of the sub-frame material. We've had to major issues with ours, but if you do try and lower the jacks, make sure there is still some slack in the hydraulic lines once lowered.
