Features to know about

Smooth Ride Over Rough Roads: Curved Equalizer Transfers the Load Evenly

Bumps and dips can really toss your trailer around if the suspension can’t flex right. This curved equalizer connects 1-3/4" wide double-eye leaf springs on tandem or triple axles and keeps things steady by letting the axles move with each other. At 6-1/8" center-to-center between shackle holes and 2-1/2" tall from top to bottom hole, it spreads the impact across both axles so the ride stays smooth and your load doesn’t bounce around.

Solid Suspension Geometry: Built for 9/16" Hardware

Loose or mismatched bolt sizes lead to sloppy travel and noise. With 9/16" diameter holes at the center and ends, this equalizer fits standard suspension bolts and hangers for a snug, reliable connection. It mounts cleanly without guesswork, restoring proper alignment so your springs, shackles, and hangers all work together as they should.

Reliable Connection Between Axles: Distributes Weight Where It Belongs

Uneven loads and road shocks put stress on each axle differently. This equalizer balances those forces by pivoting between them, so one axle takes up slack when the other hits a bump. The result is better tracking on the road, less wear on tires and suspension parts, and a steadier feel behind the wheel.

Direct Replacement Fit: Works with Standard Double-Eye Hangers and Shackles

Replacing worn suspension parts shouldn’t turn into a custom job. This equalizer installs using standard shackle straps and center hangers (sold separately), making it an easy swap for tired components. It includes bushings so you can bolt it in and bring your trailer’s suspension back to proper working order without extra parts chasing.

6-1/8" Long curved equalizer connects double-eye springs on tandem- or triple-axle trailers and allows for enough movement between the axles to keep the ride smooth and the load undisturbed. Center bolt hole is 9/16" in diameter.

I replaced the plastic bushings with the bronze bushings, and added a grease zerk at the pivot. With the shackle bolts being wet bolts I'm sure this will be a great upgrade to my trailer suspension.

Worked great my dump trailer suspension sion is as solid as can be.

Very happy with all of the items that I ordered from etrailer.com last year. Etrailer.com is a first class merchant and is my preferred source for all things related to towing/trailers.



by:

These suspension parts are a perfect fit and have solved my utility trailer problems. Great help from etrailer and a great information packed web site.

Worked out great!

Bushing holes are rough with slag in them. Make sure you have a strong reamer / drill bit to clean them out. My buddy warned me beforehand and provided the drill bit. Glad he did or I'de be up on jack stands!

My boat trailer broke and I needed to replace the entire suspension system. I called around to local businesses and would have to wait several weeks for them to order the parts. I began searching online and found etrailer.com. I looked up the parts I needed and all of them were in stock. The shipping was free and the parts were received sooner than I could have ordered them from a local retailer. Also, the price from etrailer.com was cheaper than what I would have had to pay locally. I am very pleased and will continue to use etrailer.com for all of my trailer part needs. I plan on telling everyone I see about my experience and suggest they use etrailer.com as well. Thank for helping me fix my trailer. I will post pictures when the job is finished.

replaced the suspension on my 5th wheel--all went well and now I am much releived to lub with a grease gun and not a oil can. one of the wet bolts was defective--I called you sent one out quickly--thanks



by:

Our trailer is just like the one in the video that demostrates changing the equalizer and shackle straps. This equalizer was the closest in size to our old one although the height is shorter but the trailer sat too high anyway. We changed all the shackle bolts,bushings and shackle straps. It took 3 hours and 2 people, but I have to say the trailer now rides real smooth and quiet. The real test will be when we need to haul the next load of livestock. Very happy with the quality and fast shipping.



by:

It's an equalizer, looks like a caste part, not machined. It did come with bushings, a point that I would like to have known, because I now have more inserts on hand than I need.

My total order included bolts, shackles and bushings. Prices for these parts were very competitive for the market place. However the cost for standard shipping was pretty much out of line. Also, for the amount paid for shipping, eight days to receive was a little slow.

On the plus side, installation was a breeze, and any questions that I might have had were more than adequately addressed on the web site.



by:

Parts are O.E. for my trailer . Part is a match for my old part.

I had already purchased a Heavy Duty Kit but the equalizer was not the correct one for my equipment. When I called to see if you had the correct equalizer your rep. couldn't
find the 356 part I needed and we settled on a more triangular one that had the right measurements for the bottom width ( 6 1/4") of my o.e. but was an 1 1/2" higher. After I hung up from him I searched you web site and found the right TREQ356 part listed.
I tried to get him back on the phone / and left him a message. I called back got another rep. got the right part ordered and he sent me a shipping label to return the part that was actually the wrong part for my trailer.
So Thank You very much for your swift attention to my problem. Everything else in the Heavy Duty Kit is enter-changeable and seems to fit great.

Part Well Done

Staff was very helpful and product was delivered on time. Thank you

These were just what we needed for repairs on our 1983 stock trailer. The old parts were quite worn. We gave the trailer a face lift as well, and it should last another 37 years.

Excellent service and prices. Needed to replace curved equalizer, shackles and bolts, nylon spring bushings, u-bolts, and wheel bearing seals on my sailboat trailer. etrailer had everything and shipped it fast. Staff at etrailer was excellent!

I have not installed these yet. However, the holes for the bushings appear to be out of round. I will update once I receive the replacement bronze bushings and install them.

  • Recommended Replacement Equalizers, Bolts, Bushings And Shackle Straps For Tandem Axle Horse Trailer
    We currently will not have a kit that contains everything that you are looking for but we do have all the parts you will need. First I recommend upgrading your equalizers to the MORryde Rubber Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers # MR87ZR. These cushioned equalizers will help to extend the life of your suspension components by absorbing the harsh road shock and reducing back and forth chucking. This will equal a better ride for your horses as well. Pair this with the MORryde Suspension...

  • Limited Tire Clearance with Stock Tire Size on a 2006 Forest River Cherokee 27Q
    We recommend having a minimum of 3" between the top of the tire and bottom of the fender in order to allow for proper suspension travel. However, based on the photo you sent I believe you need new leaf springs as the ones you have appear to be almost completely flat. This has then compromised your tire clearance. The flattened leaf springs could either be a result of overloading the trailer or just general wear. In order to replace them you would need to know your axle capacity and the...

  • Looking for Replacement Leaf Spring, U-Bolt Kit and Equalizer for Magic Tilt
    Hey Danny, for the leaf spring the part number replacement you would need would be the part # e57SR. The u-bolt kit you'd need is the part # CE23103. Then for the equalizer replacement you'd need the part # TREQ356.

  • Which Replacement Equalizer and Shackles for 2004 Carson Dump Trailer with Axles 34" Apart
    In addition to the axle spacing, the best way to choose the appropriate equalizer replacement is by measuring how wide your current equalizer is when measured between the two side bolt holes, center on center; as long as you keep everything relatively close in length compared to the old parts, the geometry of your suspension system won't be thrown off. As long as your existing equalizer is 5-3/4" wide and your shackle straps are 2-1/4" long from bolt eye center to bolt eye center then...

  • Will Shorter Leaf Springs Be Compatible With A Dump Trailer Suspension
    Hi Jay, So I typically recommend going with the same sized components when replacing your suspension so that you don't have to worry about it binding up and not wanting to travel when hitting bumps in the road. People tend to overload dump trailers so they'll go with heavier springs than their axle is rated for to try and prevent them from flattening out. From the pictures your shackle straps and equalizer look to be forming a 'W' still just like the with the previous components so you'll...

  • What Equalizer, Shackle Straps, and Bolts do I Need for My Tandem Axle Trailer with EQ-356?
    Hello Robert, The kit you asked about will work. There are just a couple of things to consider: You currently have the Curved Equalizer for 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs - 6-1/8" Long - 9/16" Center Hole # TREQ356, which measures 6 1/8" from center hole to center hole on the bottom.

  • Replacement Equalizer for Trailer Suspension that has 6-1/2 inches Between Bolt Holes Left to Right
    Hey Temoc, we don't have exactly the same equalizer as what you have now but we can still help. Our part # TREQ356 is pretty close dimensionally and seems to be your best option. From left to right the bolt hole centers are 6-1/8 inches apart and vertically the holes are 2-1/2 inch apart. So this would add a little bit of height to your trailer but would still work.

  • Looking for Replacement Equalizer for EQ-356
    Hey Wes, we have the exact replacement equalizer you are looking for with the part # TREQ356. When you say you need a whole kit do you mean a kit that includes these equalizers and the matching wet bolts? If you need shackles too do you know what length you are in need of?

  • Replacement Equalizer for a EQ-356
    Hey Jeff, thanks for the information and picture. The closest replacement equalizer to your EQ-356 is the MORryde item # MR87ZR. These equalizers measure 6-1/2" on the bottom holes but are a bit taller at 3-1/4". These will still work great with your suspension. The additional height will be offset by the range of motion these equalizers have. What kind of trailer do you have?

  • Can A 6" Long Equalizer Be Replaced With A 7-3/4" Long Equalizer?
    Hello Charles. When replacing an equalizer, it is very important that the replacement is identical in size to the original equalizer. The trailer is built around specifically sized suspension components, so there is very little wiggle room. For the equalizer there is a tolerance of like 1/2" or less, but going from a 6" to a 7-3/4" will throw off the suspension to where your shackles or springs will not rest at the correct angle, and you could end up damaging something. The Curved Equalizer...

    I would be happy to help! The Curved Equalizer for 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs - 6-1/8" Long - 9/16" Center Hole # TREQ356 you were looking at will be an exact replacement for your current equalizers as they have the same 6-1/8" length and 2-1/2" height as shown in the included diagram. The # TREQ356 includes nylon bushings. If you would rather have bronze bushings you can use two of the # K71-291-00.

  • Will 7-3/4" Long Equalizers Work In Place of 6-1/2" Long Equalizers
    The correct replacement 6-1/8" long equalizer is the part # TREQ356, not the part # TREQE34 which is 7-3/4" long. Therefore no, the two are not directly cross compatible. If the reason you are wanting to use 7-3/4" long is so you can get the kit part # e99ZR, you can use all the shackles and bolts with the above TREQ356 so getting both is what I recommend as there isn't a kit that comes with the TREQ356.

  • Will Anything Bad Happen if Too Big of Trailer Suspension Equalizer is Used
    Your equalizers not sitting level is a sign that they aren't going to work as well since the movement they normally allow will be limited. It may not be a problem in the near future but basically components of the suspension will wear out quicker and your tires may wear out quicker as well. It would be best to replace what you have with the correct size equalizer like the part # TREQ356.

    You definitely have the right idea of replacing everything if your suspension parts are rusting. To replace the 2-1/4" (center-eye to center-eye) shackle straps I recommend the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers # MR46ZR. This not only comes with the shackle straps but it also comes with the wet bolts, nuts, and bushings for a complete overhaul. To replace your equalizers you need the part # TREQ356 (unless you want to upgrade to something fancier) and then for your...

    Tot get your equalizer to sit level you basically just need to go with a slightly shorter one (measured from left to right). So what I would recommend is measure the length of what you have and then go with one shorter. Looking at your picture I would be willing to bet you have a 7-3/4 inch one currently so for a shorter one you could go with the part # TREQ356 which is 6-1/8 inch.

  • Vintage Trailer Suspension Replacement Recommendations
    Going to a higher rated spring will not give you higher rated axles. The axles themselves have their own rating independent of the springs. So going to a higher rated spring would only increase your trailer capacity if they were the weakest link prior to replacement. That being said, your current springs are 28 inches long so you will want to pick out a spring that is slightly shorter than that as springs tend to stretch over time. The part # SP-210275 would be the best candidate as it...

  • What are the Proper Torque Specs For TruRyde Curved Equalizer # EQ-356
    When installing an equalizer such as TruRyde # TREQ356, there is not a specific torque rating that adheres for suspension bolts. The rule is to tighten to snug while allowing minimal movement. The locking nuts are a one time use piece. Ideally, you should see 2 bolt threads when you have completed tightening the equalizer bolts. I have attached a short video where the equalizer is replaced on a trailer.
