Wet Bolt Kit
I've done a search....and yes I have found a few discussions about this....But....None of them say what or where owners are buying.
I want to complete this upgrade to our 2015 Fuzion toy hauler that uses a tandem axel set up with the Correct Track installed.
If you have completed this upgrade......Please post what you purchased and where you purchased via a link to the product.
I understand that longer bolts will be needed when the Correct Track is installed.....So is this an option that needs to be mentioned when ordering?
Any direction and wisdom is greatly appreciated.....Thank everyone.

Last week I sent an email to MORryde via their website asking what configuration was best for my 2015 Cougar Xlite 30RLI. I had a reply the next day from Gary Wheeler. Now I know what unit to request my local RV Dealer to install on January 11th. FYI - I'll have a SRE4000 installed.
Hope this helps .... Don

Don, would you mind reporting back with what you paid for the kit and install?

I find it a little hard to believe that the Fuzion does not already have wet bolts installed. I guess you have already crawled underneath to look for zerk fittings at the end of the suspension bolts?

Install will be a little under $400 (quoted) and the SRE4000 quoted as $110.
Will posted actual cost after the January 11th install.

Hello Don.....Looks like the SRE4000 is a suspension system that is added to a towable trailer. The wet bolt kit is a replacement bolt kit that incorporates grease zerks on the bolts and replacement bronze bushings. Not sure what you want installed but the system you quoted is far more than the kit I am looking to add.

I bought a MOR/ryde wetbolt kit from www.smile.amazon.com for $88 and installed it myself. Dexter makes the kits, but I bought a MOR/ryde because of their installed equalizer system on my 326.
I outlined the install process pretty thoroughly, but I can't find the posting right now. Back to the house guests...

I put in the MorRyde wet bolts and equalizers on my 244rls 3 years ago. The original bushings were plastic or what was left. The wet bolts were smaller diameter so I ordered bronze bushings and keep them lubed every year. Did the install myself.

I'm a bit confused on who needs the wet bolt kit.
Would my 3 yr. old Raptor with the Trail Air equalizer system need it as well?

IMHO, everyone should have wet bolt kits installed. The stock nylon (polyethylene?) bushings are doomed to failure within a very few miles (3500 in my case). There are bushings out there that don't require grease - I think they are called 'never fail'. Personally, I like the idea of shooting grease in the suspension's moving parts. Makes for a quieter, smoother operating suspension without the worry of failing shackles and bushings. Do a forum search, you will find several threads containing pictures of failed suspension parts caused by worn out bushings.

I installed a Morryde wet bolt kit and X Factor cross members when the trailer was new and never regretted it, no banging and clunking when turning tows great. I would sooner grease it once in a while than keep changing nylon bushings

Anybody have a ball park figure on what an average RV shop might charge to install the wetbolt kit? I don't mind doing it myself, but if the price is fair I would rather be on the beach.....

Are slightly longer shackles available or does that mess with suspension geometry in an undesired way?

Speaking of wet bolt issues....anyone have an instant diagnosis for one that won't take grease? I've got a Harbor Freight pneumatic grease gun on the way. Try more pressure than the hand pump one before I tear into it.
