Do you mean IS suspension? If so, best upgrade EVER!

I agree, if your talking about the MORryde IS , it really is worth every penny...

If you are considering suspension and brake upgrades, suggest waiting until the 2019 rally specials are negotiated and posted, as some excellent deals are normally provided.

Just as well spring for whole enchilada; IS, disc brakes & throw on the 17.5" H rated tires & be good to go.

if you book a MorRyde upgrade and have the work done before the end of march they have a "snow bird special" $500 off the work! I am heading there march 25-26 for 8K IS and disk brakes. It tows alright on good roads but when it gets rough it looks like a tornado went threw the cabinets and dumps everything on the floor. The disk brakes almost a must a this weight.

Next to nothing moves in our unit, unless some idiot cuts us off and I have to hit the brakes hard, then a few things will shift forward.
But in almost 10 years of running the IS on three different units, we have never broken anything and that's after approx 93K miles including to Alaska and Newfoundland.

Same here. Over 42k miles and no issues. Tows great, rides great and like Michelle said, nothing moves around much unless I've got to climb all over the brakes. Would never own another fifth wheel without both IS and disc brakes.

If you wanted to do it in steps so the price tag is more in line with your budget disk brakes can be added after . Performance trailer brakes has several road installing teams that can come to you. I am getting the disk brakes and IS done all at once. We cant post prices here or they will delete the post, send me a PM if you want.
