Suspension Upgrades for Freedom Express

Want to upgrade my suspension but I cannot find an upgrade for my trailer... MORyde does not make an upgrade for the Spread axle design on the Freedom Express and I have not been able to find the upgraded DExter axle easy flex for that trailer either... Anyone have any knowledge of who does make an upgrade for the Spread axle please PM me or post reply here.. Most kits are designed for the 33 or 35 inch wheelbase... The Spread Axle is 42 1/2.. Thanks..

This is what I put on my spread axle.
Note, it does raise the camper about an inch.

Just wondering if you put any miles on the camper since you put these on... If so did you notice the difference.? Did you install a wet bolt kit? I hesitate to put a lot of stock in some of the Lippert Components... I would prefer the Moryde, but they do not make a system for a 42 inch wheelbase....

I purchased it from Amazon in 2014 and have quite a few miles on it. My cupboards use to pop open with the factory suspension and do not any more.
I used the stock hardware, not the wet bolt kit.

I assume that the spread axle is the same wheelbase on all models but I was curious if you measured your wheelbase before ordering the kit.... My wheelbase is 42 inches or 42 3/8... Just wondering to be sure it will fit my Freedom Express 281rlds....
Thanks for your reply....

I was finally able to get a measurement and it is the same as yours.
