2015 Fuzion 345 suspension upgrades.
Any recommended suspension upgrades I should do on my 2015 Fuzion 345 when I have the wheel bearings done?

Need more info!
Is there problems with the existing?
What axles?
What's the GVW of the Fuzion?
What do you currently have for an equalizer?
Tires?
You want independent suspension?
You want disc brakes?
Are you talking replacing bearings with Timkens?
Are you doing the work? If not what's your budget?
You've ask a very broad question!

I installed Dexter E Z flex heavy duty rubber suspension system along with wet bolts . This works for me and over 12 K pounds on the axles and 15 K miles with no sight of wear. I know the rig pulls smoother.

What is your advice Texan? Sandfreak was very clear with his question on his keyston toyhualer suspension. From what you said your knowable is very poor about keyston . I'm seeing you don't even own a keystone product . It's a redwood owned by Thor industry

Keystone is also owned by Thor industries!
Redwood was/is a Crossroads unit, also Thor, which a year or 2 ago went under the control of Keystone. So no technically mine being '13 wasn't a Keystone, but the last 2-4 year models definitely are.
Just FYI, Thor owns approximately 85% of the rv industry.
As far as rv suspensions it doesn't make any difference as to the manufacturer, the majority are all the same, bare minimum they can get by with.
My advice is to upgrade the equalizer to Dexter or MorRyde with heavy shackles (1/2" thick), wet bolts & bronze bushings, replacing the factory plastic bushings & paper thin shackles. My OEM shackles had the bolt holes already elongated in 5-6k miles & the plastic bushings were totally shredded.
If he wants a real upgrade swap the crappy electric drum brakes to disc, best upgrade I did to mine.
If you've got plenty of money ($3500-4000) go to MorRyde & they'll completely remove axles, springs, equalizer & replace with a 4 wheel totally independent rubber mounted system making the smoothest ride, most trouble free of any system on the market. For about $6000+/- you can get the IS & disc brakes.
Sandfreak, sorry to ask so many questions, just trying to be clear what you had & were looking to do.
So Roadglide if YOU need any more suspension info or who manufacturers which rvs, just ask, I'll be glad to help you out!!!

DANNY you should try Google search befor you start criticizing your knowledge of keystone is pathetic. I know Dexter brakes used on keyston toyhualer are American made quality . Take a look at E Trailer before you start popping off about a product. The Lippert frame and axle are of high quality . My springs are still good after 40 k miles nothing perfect and there will be some defects . I WOULD RECOMENED new USA bearings and race and seals for the O P .

I'm sorry, but I have no clue where you're coming from with your comments & rant.
I never criticized Keystone, Dexter, Lippert or any other particular product.
I simply ask the OP a few questions in an attempt to clarify if he was looking for a particular upgrade, so far the OP hasn't responded.
I have, as far as I can tell, been playing nice, where some have went off on an unprovoked rant about what I asked the OP & for some unknown reason on my particular rv.
Hopefully some of the suggestions from others, as well as myself, have given the OP some ideas & hasn't been scared off.
On this particular thread I'm done!
