"We would like to first thank everyone at Mor/Ryde for the excellent customer service we received and the quality craftsmanship of independent suspension that we purchased. From the moment we arrived and throughout the installation process, everyone we met with were very open, friendly and customer focused. The technicians were all very professional and we could tell not only knew What they were doing, but also take pride in their workmanship and strive produce and install the best quality product available.
We became Mor/Ryde customers by first installing the pin box system 4 years ago and have been so impressed with its performance that when it came time to upgrade the suspension, Mor/Ryde I.S. was first on our list to consider. The more we investigated other systems, the more we considered Mor/Ryde I.S. as our first choice. The trailer glides down the road as if floating on air but without the worry or hassle of setting and maintaining air pressures. Just crossing the multiple track railroad crossing down from the service facility we could tell what difference the I.S. system makes. On the return trip home we took the same route that include everything from Indiana freeways to back country Ohio roads that are known for being fairly rough in the spring of the year and could not believe the difference the I.S. made in addition to to the pin box we already had in place. The I.S. is more than what we expected in every way and the service given at the Mor/Ryde service center cannot be beat by anyone, anywhere!!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for the recent upgrades, hydraulic disc brakes and Independent Suspension, to our fifth-wheel trailer. The courtesies and speedy installation are greatly appreciated. The results are very satisfactory and perhaps even more than I expected. The brake system had increased my confidence and ability to stop in a safe and secure manner. The previous brake system was totally unsatisfactory and gave me many stressful moments. The ability to stop the trailer on a downgrade at highway speeds is most reassuring. I would recommend this system to anyone. I have no way to evaluate the IS system but I have noticed that items in the trailer stay in place much better than before. Again please express my thanks to the people who worked on our trailer and those who made our visit pleasant."

"Just a note to let you know that I really appreciate you working with me last Sept. We just got back from driving 5,000 miles of the worse roads in Mexico. The IS/Brakes/Bearings did just fine. We just love the product. The trailer is very smooth and it stops on a dime. We hope to stop in and visit you in the future when we head East so that we can have you inspect and lube the bearings. Again, thank you."

"Just got home after two days and nights on the road. Cannot say enough good things about the IS suspension. It is all you said about it, and more. My wife says the suspension is priceless. Thanks again for a very good product."
Richard Hopkins
"The IS suspension system made a 500% improvement in the ride of our trailer. It should be mandatory on every trailer manufactured."

"Allow me to tell you how pleased I am with my IS conversion. Up until the change over it has been one rocky road. Broken Corian Counter, broken leaf spring, broken slide out roller beneath the large slide over the front axle and a dinning room table that kept tipping over. ALL GONE. I put a glass of water on the counter after I left your shop and drove 100 miles. I went back and checked and the glass hadn't moved or spilled a drop. As if that wasn't enough proof I then placed an apple on the table and then drove for another 150 miles. Didn't move off the table."
