When one axle hits a bump, the other shouldn’t take all the punishment. This 23-1/2" long equalizer connects 2" wide slipper leaf springs and transfers load and sudden impacts between axles. The design spreads the weight evenly so the trailer rides smoother and stays more stable over rough roads.
For serious hauling, you need suspension parts that can handle it. This equalizer is designed for new-style Dexter axles rated from 8,000 lbs to 9,000 lbs. Its size and geometry match the heavier spring setups, giving dependable support under load without flexing or binding.
Everything lines up the way it should. The equalizer hangs from a 1" center bolt hole and connects to slipper springs with 5/8" diameter bolt holes. The arched end lets the other spring rest on a 5/16" keeper bolt, keeping the setup tight and moving freely through its travel.
Whether it’s a tandem or triple-axle trailer, this equalizer links the suspension so all axles share the work. It keeps the system balanced as loads shift, helping reduce bounce and sway during towing. That extra stability means a smoother feel and less stress on your gear.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the equalizer for 2-inch wide slipper springs. The unit's made from a really nice, sturdy, steel construction, with a black paint finish on it. This is designed to connect slipper springs on dual or triple axle trailers. You would attach one spring with a bolt. That'd be to this point here, directly through the eye of the spring. The hardware to get that spring attached to this portion of the equalizer is sold separately, and then the slipped, arched end of the other spring would mount to the equalizer over here, and it would rest on a keeper bolt.
That would engage in this hole here, keeper bolt sold separately as well, and then your equalizer is designed to be suspended from a center hanger, and center hangers are sold separately as well. If you need any of the components that I've mentioned that are sold separately, we offer all those here at etrailer.com. Now this equalizer is designed to transfer load and sudden impact from one axle to another. It's really going to help distribute weight evenly and it's going to result in a smooth ride for the trailer. It's got this rubber core, this bushing right here, this rubber core bushing. That's really going to help absorb some of the impact before it gets to the trailer frame and then the contents of the trailer as well, so that's a nice design of the unit.
This is designed for new style 8,000 pound to 9,000 pound Dexter axles. Again, it's going to fit a 2-inch wide slip release spring. The center bolt hole diameter is 1-inch. The side bolt hole diameter, for mounting the spring, that's this end, 5/8 of an inch in diameter. This hole right here, for the keeper bolt, that's 5/16 of an inch. A few other measurements that I want to go over with you real quick, we're going to take a look at the overall length of the unit, so measuring edge to edge.
That's going to give a measurement of 23 1/2 inches, and then the measurement that we have from the center of this hole to the center of this hole, that's 10 3/4 of an inch, and then center on center to the hole right here, that's also 10 3/4 of an inch. That's going to do it for today's look at the equalizer for 2-inch wide slipper springs.

Ratings & Reviews
Etrailer service was outstanding! The product looks exceptional.
It was the exact same part for over $200 less than Nationwide Trailer in Houston,and Nationwide wanted to charge me a 15% restoking fee when I took back their product! I paid $468 for the same thing that I spent only $223 from Etrailer, and I got 3day shipping, awesome company, I will be back, GUARENTEED!
Ordered 2- 3” equalizers for Dexter axle. They shipped 1- 3” that was correct and in the same box 1 -2 1/2” that is significantly lighter and obviously different. Could have bought it elsewhere cheaper but I needed it fixed for next week. I guess that’s not gonna happen. Shipping was fast. And to be fair 2 1/2” equalizer has a 3” label on it, so not completely etrailers fault but sure doesn’t help me.
fast shipping, cheapest price. what more could you ask for? For it to work perfectly! well of course etrailer only sells great quality products. again thank you for always having what I need to keep my tilt deck on the road!!!!
