Features to know about

Steady Suspension Over Long Miles: 23-1/2" Long Equalizers Keep Axles Aligned

Rough roads and heavy loads can throw suspension geometry out of balance. This kit’s 23-1/2" long equalizers keep your tandem axles centered and working together smoothly. The equalizers connect the leaf springs so the weight transfers properly between axles, giving a stable, even ride that holds up under a 9,000-lb load rating.

Solid Mounting for Tandem Axles: 4-1/2" Tall Center Hangers with 1" Bolt Holes

Strong hangers are what keep everything straight. The included 4-1/2" tall center hangers use 1" bolt holes for a tight, durable connection between the frame and equalizers. Once installed, they help maintain correct axle spacing—48-1/2" between axles—and hold alignment through constant movement and stress.

Built to Handle Heavy-Duty Use: 1" and 5/8" Diameter Hardware Holds Firm

This hardware kit comes ready for serious work. It includes 1" and 5/8" diameter bolts and matching locknuts that keep the equalizers and springs secure. Each piece is sized precisely for a clean fit that won’t loosen under load, keeping the suspension moving freely without excess play.

Easy Pairing for a Complete Setup: Works with HAP-105-00 Hanger Kit

If you’re building or rebuilding a full tandem-axle suspension, this kit fits right into the plan. Use it together with the HAP-105-00 kit to complete the entire system—front and rear hangers, center hangers, and equalizers—all designed to work with tandem 9,000-lb Dexter axles. It’s a straightforward way to get a strong, matching setup that lasts.

Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: Dexter Tandem-Axle Trailer Equalizer Kit for 2" Slipper Springs

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Dexter Tandem Axil Trailer Equalizer Kit for the two inch wide slipper springs. Now this kit here will include these two 23 and a half inch long equalizers and the necessary bolts and hangers for suspending your e-springs from your trailer frame. This kit is designed to be used with the part number HAP-105-00 for a complete Tandem axle kit. Did wanna pop up an insert show you the picture of that kit we're talking about. That kit will contain the front and rear hangers and the mounting hardware to give you a complete Tandem axle kit.

Now this is designed for use with Tandem 9,000 pound Dexter axles. This kit here will allow you to attach four slipper springs to your trailer frame. Now the slipper springs are not included. We do sell those separately. This will include everything shown on the table, we mentioned includes these two 23 and a half inch long straight equalizers.

And just to give you an idea, if we put a tape measure on them, your 23 and a half inch measurement. Now these equalizers will allow for 48 and a half inches between the axles. They do use the one inch diameter center hole for mounting to the hangar. And then over here they have the five eighths inch diameter side hole for attaching to the spring. Does also come with these tall, these center hangers here, they are a four and a half inch tall center hangar.

Has the one inch diameter bolt holes in them. Now when we say four and a half inches tall, when you measure them it's not the overall from bottom to top, it measures from the center of the bolt hole to the top of the hangar. So you can see if we go center at the top, four and a half inches tall. Does come with all the hardware. We'll start with these.

It comes with the three and one quarter inch long five sixteenth diameter spring keeper bolts with the lock nuts. Comes with the two four and a half inch long five eighths inch diameter spring high bolts with lock nuts. And in two of these five inch long one inch diameter equalizer bolts with the lock nuts. Now one note, this kit does not include components for mounting your axle to the springs. But that should do it for the review on the Dexter Tandem Axle Trailer Equalizer kit for two inch wide slipper springs.

Nice job "e-Trailer"; received this "heavy" order very promptly; did not expect it so quickly in view of how other retailers/ manufacturers/ on-line businesses are behind in fulfilling orders. Packages (3) came all intact, well packed and product received in great condition. The order included:
> 5-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Hook End for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles (2)
> U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 8,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 8" Long U-Bolts (2)
> Tandem-Axle Trailer Equalizer Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 10-1/8" Long Equalizers (2)
> Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 6K (2)
> Mounting Bolts and Hardware for 12" Brake Assemblies (2)
> Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 2441SS - Stainless Steel (Pair) (2)
> Bearing Kit, 15123/25580 Bearings, GS-2125DL Seal (4)
> Optronics LED Combination Trailer Tail Lights - Submersible - 40 Diodes - Driver and Passenger Side.
These items are being utilized in the total suspension replacement of a 10,000 gvwr tandem axle trailer. Good sized job for a DIY'er. I expect that it will give my JD 2038 tractor a smooth and safe ride as it is towed/ hauled down the highway.
Thank you.
I would/will strongly recommend to a friend/relative or associate.
( I'd take a picture of the "project", but there is a vicious rain storm occurring outside; perhaps one or two pics to follow at a later time).

This particular part was the most perfect part for my application and it works like a million bucks!!!!



by:

First class customer service, quick delivery. etrailer is my one stop shop for trailer parts. I have tried [other online site] and other sites but I always wind up buying at etrailer. They make sure you get the right parts and always follow up with me after I receive my parts to make sure that I am satisfied. Ordering from Canada is a breeze..



by:

Fast service good parts happy all around



by:

The kit is pretty complete. I had to purchase the bushings for the spring eyes. Overall I'm happy with the kit.



by:

Great price for the money. I had to cut these but for the price that’s was I was planning for. I had an odd 11.5 length so overes bigger and cut to size.



by:

Just as needed



by:

Didn’t not work with my cam super line trailer. Bolts were not the right diameter for the front of the spring, the wet bolt isn’t stated to have a locking square sink on it so it doesn’t sit flush. Rear small bolt worked just fine, ubolt plates didn’t fit the bottom of my springs even tho they were stated to be for my size spring of 2”. I would triple check everything on your trailer before ordering. Will be returning my second set I bought to do my other trailer as well and be souring parts elsewhere.



by:

great fit worked good nice trailer agian



by:

Easy to order online or by phone and glad it got to my address in less time that I expected!!! I had my doubts that it might be a fraudulent website, but I was so wrong!! Thanks etrailer and hope to continue buying from u more parts in the future!!



by:

The folks at etrailer went out of their way to be sure that I had the proper axels , springs , brakes and hubs to rebuild our 35 year old trailer . I can’t say enough about their service and products !!!



by:

Great service,quality product, I will order from them again.



by:

Exactly what I needed for tandem 8000# Dexter axle rebuild.



by:

Good quality, bolted up and fit great



by:

Exact replacement



by:

The suspension on my custom built equipment trailer failed after nearly 3 decades of use. etrailer has become my go to supplier for trailer parts, so I ordered an Equalizer Kit that was the dimension and load rating I needed and the repair worked out perfectly. My trailer is back on it's feet and I saved time, trouble, and money ordering the right parts from etrailer.



by:

This is exactly what I needed. After seeing the new ones, I realized how badly the old ones were worn. They fit perfectly, and arrived very quickly. These along with new springs, made the trailer pull like new again. I am going to order more for another trailer.



by:

My 20 year old trailer (that I use for my Lawn Business ) needed new axles and while shopping for parts I found these Equalizers
I was impressed with the price.
I received them a few days which was great since I needed my trailer back on the road quick
The new parts installed perfectly
It was nice that all the hardware was included.
The old parts where severely worn so now
the trailer rides great and I have the comfort of mind that my complete axle assembly is brand new
I strongly recommend this product



by:

This Equalizer Kit was so reasonably priced and the shipping info. sent to me let me track it all the way home. The part fixed our trailer very well. This company was great to deal with and so easy to get what we needed!
