Want to give this thread a bump. Wanting to add wet bolts to our Cruiser's suspension. Wondering when Lippert will start making trailair suspension parts.

Very happy with this mod. I grease the bolts a couple times a year. Just whenever I think about it usually. Hasn't squeaked since!

I now have over 25,000 miles on my equa-flex and wet bolts with no problem. Would never be without either.

What's the best way to jack up the trailer to perform this mod in front of your house?

If you have level ground, my suggestion would be----put your bottle jack under the frame behind the rear axle and jack it up. Just make sure you block everything and not trust the jack while you are working on/under it.

Sorry about the blank post.  Not sure how that happened.

As said use a bottle jack to jack the trailer from the frame.  Then I recommend setting the trailer onto a good set of 12 ton jack stands.  Make sure you have a good base under the stands.  I also recommend leaving the trailer hitched to your truck.  I would not trust the landing gear when jacking the trailer as it will put a significant amount of side stress on the landing gear.

Has anyone used NeverFail bushings?  Lippert claims they are more durable than wet bolts with bronze bushings and require no maintenance or lubrication.

Found this info from another forum about NeverFail.
http://www.heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/28813-Wet-Bolts-vs-Never-Fail-Bushings

May consider these for our Cruiser if they fit.
