Great product, had these on before a leaf spring busted on me and figured just replace all 6 springs and the hangers. Easy to grease and maintain, fit just like the originals that did not have grease-able bolts. Didn't want to reuse the bolts and nuts from the previous grease-able set I had on it, cheap insurance and peace of mind. Painted the hangers and the leaf springs to match my trailer.
Very happy with the product and installation instructions. I anticipate better performance of the suspension with the greaseable brass bushings.
Perfect product. Easy to install as long as you make sure that the trailer is well supported before banging old shackle bolts out and new ones in. Do not try to hammer the new sleeves into the spring eyes. Use a large C clamp. One of the pre-assembled shackle bolt units was slightly bent, not noticably so, but had to use some heat to install the matching plate.
John - 02/25/2021Overall I’m very pleased with this heavy duty suspension kit. It fit correctly and I’m sure this wet-bolt system will be much more durable than my old dry-bolt system, which at 4 years old was showing major wear, rust, and fatigue. The reason I gave it only 4 stars was because one of the nuts stripped out under very little torque, as if it hadn’t been heat treated and hardened. The bolt was fine. I reinstalled one of my old nuts and it torqued fine to 50 ft. lbs., per Dexter specifications. All other parts were fine.
This suspension kit was perfect for my Forest River Wolfpack. If you have a 40' camper you need this. It raised the rear height giving more of a level pull, stiffer turns, better off-road less roll and less bounce in the camper when setup. All campers are junk quality, so do yourself a favor and upgrade your suspension.
Poor machine work.I had to beat and drill to make the parts fit. I have experience in machine work, god help the person trying to install this kit with average skill.
Great durable product. Not all the grease zerts were usable due to location on the trailer
The product was much stronger than I could get at a local store. I was a bit disappointed with the speed of shipping. I paid an extra $xx for expedited shipping and it still took 5 days to get to our yard.
Yesterday I completed the install of the Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension, kit # K71-448-00. The included instructions were pretty good, plus I watched a few YouTube videos before beginning the install. The biggest issue was removing the old bolts from the trailer. Once that was accomplished the new parts went on easily. Now my suspension just looks stronger and with the wet bolts it should last the life of the trailer. The old plastic bushings were pretty well shot and were overdue for replacement. Thanks to etrialer for a great upgrade!
The parts were all the right ones and most were Dexter oem parts. The only problem I had was putting the bolts in the frame end of the spring perch. It was easier to take the spring loose from the axle, put the bolt in ,then bolt it back to the axle. I intend to buy all of my future trailer parts from etrailer.
I've had a few sets of shackle straps wear out. While replacing them I noticed that the bolts and bushings were badly worn. The equalizer also had heavy wear in the center bolt hole. I decided to replace all of the lighter duty parts with this Dexter heavy duty suspension kit. These shackle straps are much heavier and all of the bushings are bronze. These are also wet bolts, so I'll be able to keep them greased and prevent wear. The parts came in a kit together and were easy to install. Shipping was fast and etrailer honored the lowest price pledge by refunding me 110% of the difference between their price and the advertised price of another seller. I definitely recommend this kit from Dexter and etrailer as the right place to get it.
No more squeaky trailer suspension! These are HEAVY duty and give me the utmost confidence trailering cross country! I highly recommend this upgrade!
Everything worked great.
Quick delivery and great customer service. I've used etrailer many times and always get great service.
Love the parts they are very heavy duty
Great product, great price! Included all the hardware to replace everything that wears in the spring suspension. Made a loose, very worn trailer like new. Also the bushings are greaseable now so should stay that way.
Great product. Everything is heavy duty and no issues after one year of use
I finally got around to installing the Dexter suspension kit today ( having received it over a month ago ). Installation went very smoothly. The product looks MUCH better than the stock components that were on my Jayco trailer. I believe the capability to routinely lube the pins will make a big difference in performance and longevity. I've ordered many items from etrailer over the years and they did a great job at delivery with good pricing.
Great product .Way better than original parts
Arrived sooner than expected.
