Want to get one to eliminate some mild chucking. 2011 chevrolet 3500 dually cclb D/A 2005 Keystone Cougar 314 jetenbu • View posts Southeast Texas Senior Member Joined: 08/03/2006 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 02/06/12 04:38am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I have had both and I sure like the MoreRyde best.

Would get Mor-ryde if given a choice. I think the Mor-ryde works better and also doesn't need to be aired up as it loses air. 1hodag • View posts bella vista, arkansas New Member Joined: 01/24/2008 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/06/12 07:40am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator i am on the other side of the fence on this one. had both and liked the airborne.

I know its not what you are asking but I liked the Trail Air better. With the Trail Air we did get some chucking, but not bad. With the Mor/Ryde we would get pounding of the hitch and the pin. After only a few months I ordered a new air hitch. What I have now is a bit pricey but a great combination. We travel 6 months a year an average about 15,000 miles a year. I wanted something that was a good ride and would protect our trailer. If I had to do it over I would have got a good air pin and saved the cost of the air hitch.

Now we have both in one unit; Tri Glide TrailAir. Tri Glide acts like the Mor/Ryde while the TrailAir part is similar to the 5th AirBorne. Best of both in one pin box. A bit pricey and does require some periodic maintenance (9 zerk fittings get a "squirt" every 1,000 miles), but, to me, well worth the price. No chucking and the 5ver "floats" on the pin box. Just one more option to consider... My 2 cents, your mileage may vary...

Last time I was at MorRyde getting IS & disc brakes installed on my new fiver, a guy came in with a new Cameo & was getting IS & discs installed like me. He had a 3 week old fiver (about same age as mine) & he had Fifth Airborne on his pin box. After seeing the MorRyde & having the back of the Fifth Airborne tear up the side of his pickup when bacing it, he had MorRyde replace his Fifth Airborne with the MorRyde. I did not talk to him afterwards so I don't now if he was happier with MorRyde. I have put the MorRyde on my last two fivers & am very happy with the ride. chipsdc2 • View posts MA New Member Joined: 07/11/2010 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 02/09/12 03:13pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I have had a MorRide for six years.

My wife concurs, our truck rides better (yes better) with the 5th wheel hitched up than without. Now the drawback is the maintenance. Airing up the airspring and 9 grease fittings that need greased every 1000 miles...
