Question:

How do these Lippert Equa-Flex equalizers compare to the Dexter E-Z Flex equalizers? Is one better in some way than the other? Thanks

Besides the obvious design differences there isn't much difference in how the E-Z Flex and Equa-Flex # LC279687 work or how well each one works. If I had to quantify it I would say that the Equa-Flex would stiffen things up a little more compared to the E-Z Flex. In general the E-Z Flex takes up less space so if there is anything in the general area that may get interfered with then the E-Z Flex is the better option.

Just bought a 2020 Grand Design 290BH was looking at your sight and wondering if it would fit this unit. If so what items would be needed.

To ensure a good fit you'll want to measure the eye-to-eye width of your current equalizers. The Equa-Flex units are 5-1/2" wide, so it's important that this is pretty close to what you currently have or you will have to make more significant modifications to the suspensions setup. Unfortunately trailer manufactures don't make this type of information isn't available. If it's a good size it will work great.
