Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers - 1-3/4" Wide Double Eye Springs - 2-1/4" Links
Got the kit today. Some of the nuts were oval and would not fit on the bolt of course. Now I have to go to box store and find nuts that fit! Not very good quality control!!
The parts shipped to me a day earlier than I expected. I was able to install one side that same evening. Finished the other side the next day. Plan on going camping next weekend. The parts seemed to be of good quality. The installation was straightforward.

Curved Equalizer for 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs - 7-3/4" Long - 9/16" Center Hole
Just what i needed since my original equalizers were completely worn out .
The bolt holes are not bored center of the lobes and are not 90 degrees to the stock. The egg shaped equalizers I am replacing have more material remaining on the thin side than the new ones I just received from etrailer. NOT HAPPY Must Resolve This Issue ASAP

Front/Center/Rear Hanger for Double-Eye Springs - 2-3/8" Tall - 9/16" Bolt Hole
Just as good as the ones from the big box stores but way cheaper.
Good steel. Just not bent enough. Measures 3/8” wider at the open end. Just extra work tightening the bolts but not a huge deal

Front/Center/Rear Hanger for Double-Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Tall - 9/16" Bolt Hole
These hangers are great for the center. They provide just enough clearance for your equalizer. Because of the length and being that I am a welder I added a support inside the hanger to keep them rigid!
Megan was very helpful with helping get this order together and communicating with parts being shipped from other locations. Thank you so very much Megan!!!!

Front/Rear Hanger for Double-Eye Springs - 1-5/16" Tall - 9/16" Bolt Hole
Not bent enough. Open end measures over 2”. Not a huge deal but would be nice to have them closer to what they need to be before welding. I will have to tighten them up before full weld.
Just as good as the ones from the big box stores but way cheaper.

Lippert Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade - Tandem Axle
Installed slippers Center Point system on out Alpine 3101RL 5ver. The install is straight foreward if your mechanically inclined. Now about the lack of instructions, nothing shipped from Lippert. etrailer provided a link to help with that. I do prefer printed instructions opposed having to scroll through my phone with dirty hands. The torque specs provided by Lippert don't align with normal torque charts for said fasteners. The banana shackles are very thin and unplated,they are just raw steel. For the cost of the suspension Lippert cound do better on the shackles in this kit. Lippert recommends in stalling the air gauge for the air bags outside,however to gauge is a cheap plastic model. I feel it would have a short life span exposed to the elements. The good now, it seems robust and likly to help absorb road shock. I have not had our 5ver on the road yet. But I will leave more feed back when I have. I purchased this suspension system after finding a broken main leaf on our front tandem. I replaced all of our leaf springs bushings and bolts with the wet bolts Supplied in the kit. FYI Lippert neverfail bushings fail in less than 7k miles. We are not over weight.
Just installed the lippert center point and I have to say very impressed on how well it’s built. Super easy to install and I can’t wait to take it down these California roads and see how much better it rides. Installed on a 2022 jayco eagle Ht 29.5 BHDS

Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit - Double-Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 6,000 lbs
Great price. Easy install. The trailer is quiet when the suspension is articulating around tight turns and going over speed bumps. And peace of mind knowing the worn out bushings are gone.
Customer service, response, shipping and ease of doing business are all top of class. The product is solid but kudos to the eTrailer staff for helping me out with a quality issue with one of the shackle assemblies. eTrailer has earned all my future business. It's great piece of mind to know they stand behind the products they sell.

Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers - Tandem 7K Trailer Axles
Install wasn’t bad. Grand design welds a V bracket inside the spring hangers for more strength so that was my only challenge on install. This caused a problem on the center hanger as the spacer wouldn’t fit. Had to grind about a quarter inch off the spacer so it would fit as I could only bend the bottom of the hangers so much. Will be towing about 100 miles this weekend so it will be nice to hopefully not have broken drawers in the back of the trailer as well as shelves in the fridge door dislodged. I also did the X factor cross braces on the front and rear hangers for more strength. Will post back after we get more miles on it, but given all the other positive reviews I don’t think I’ll be unhappy.
What a great product. The difference it made in our ride was outstanding. You almost forget you are towing a 35 ft 5th wheel behind you. We travel from West coast to East coast over all type roads and this product made such a difference. Sorry we didn't have it installed sooner. Definitely made a differance and would highly recommend to all Rv owners.

Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers - 1-3/4" Wide Double Eye Springs
Double the thickness of original shackles, grease fittings are awesome so there’s no more squeak. If you can spend the money on these, they are worth it without a doubt.
Nice upgrade kit to replace worn parts on a 3 horse tandem axle trailer. Having the beefier shackle straps, bronze bushings, and ability to grease the moving points is a beautiful thing.

Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 3" Round Axles - 7,000 lbs
I love this suspension its quiet and the handling and ride is the best I have ever used on a trailer. Gonna buy another set for my gooseneck trailer. Will never go back to leaf springs!
I used these to replace the leaf springs and equalizers on a 20’ gooseneck cattle trailer that I rebuilt. The ride is great and the usual rattling and clanging of the trailer going down the gravel road is gone. So far I am very happy with the ease of installation and the performance of the suspension. I guess only time will tell about the durability of the rubber components in the long run.

Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit - Double-Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 8,000 lbs
We broke down on a Saturday near Cincinnati and couldn't find any parts, so I called etrailer and luckily they had a wet bolt kit in stock. They shipped it next day, which means business day, next day, aka Tuesday " thanks UPS ". I had the kit installed by a mobile mechanic and I was back on the road by 3:30pm.
Had to replace the axles and decided while there, just do the whole suspension too. Got the axles directly from Dexter but purchased the suspension kit from etrailer. Replacing the equalizer was the easiest part of this project and if I didn't have to replace the axles, probably would have had it done in under 2 hours. Time will tell how well it rides and the tires wear.

Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers - Double Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 6K to 8K
product shown has new top pins which were not included, also the packaging was 1/3 destroyed. My old pins do not have grease fittings, so no way to grease the Equa-Flex devices.
Looked at another brand, decided I liked the Lippert better. Although it was $[XX] more than where I started I was willing to pay the extra due to it having a variable width and it being heavier built than the product I was looking at. Paula was excellent in assisting me with this product, (4) springs, u bolts, wet blots / shackle kit.
