Absorbs Road Shock and Reduces Chucking
Upgrade your trailer's suspension for a smoother ride with these cushioned Road Armor equalizers. The rubber cores effectively absorb vibrations and bumps and reduce the back-and-forth movement known as chucking. Unlike standard cast equalizers, the Road Armor rubber rotation stops soak up this energy like a sponge instead of transferring it to your trailer and cargo. The result is a more comfortable ride with less wear and tear on your trailer.
360 Degrees of Protection
The Road Armor equalizers have double the protection of most aftermarket equalizers, each with 4 rotation stops for 360-degree protection. When your trailer's leaf spring encounters road shock, it will kick the Road Armor's lead side vertically up to 1-1/2", while the trailing side will push down up to 1-1/2". The opposite reaction happens on the other side of the equalizer when the trailing axle incurs the same road vibration, allowing for 6" of total travel capability per equalizer.
Easy Installation
It's easy to upgrade your trailer's standard suspension with a set of cushioned Road Armor equalizers. You will need 10 standard suspension bolts and 8 shackle straps (each sold separately) to incorporate the equalizers into your trailer's suspension system. Two of the suspension bolts will be used to suspend the equalizers from the center hangers, and the other 8 bolts will be used with the shackle straps to attach the equalizers to the double-eye leaf springs. If you would like to replace the bolts that attach the springs to your front and rear hangers as well, you will need 4 additional suspension bolts (sold separately).

Today we'll be taking a look at the Road Armor Shock-Absorbing Equalizer Kit. These are going to provide good support for your tandem axle trailers. Basically, what an equalizer does is help to transfer the weight from one axle to the other, so if you're going over a surface that's not exactly completely flat, it helps to keep all the brunt of that weight from going on just one of your axles. So it keeps everything spread out. It keeps that weight distributed and it also makes for a more comfortable and smooth ride.But these are going to have, in addition to that, are these rubber blocks to provide some extra cushion to that. So as that equalizer travels and moves as you are going down the road, it provides some cushion to those equalizer springs.
So it's going to help to improve our ride even more. Helps to keep everything nice and smooth as we're towing down heavy loads down the road.It comes with the bushings already installed. Those are going to have copper bushings so that's one less thing you have to worry about there. And those rubber cores are also going to minimize the chucking, which is that forward to back moving that you typically get with trailers, and help to absorb that road shock.It's made of a sturdy stell construction with a nice yellow powder-coat finish over the whole surface. So as you can see, it's pretty well coated so we don't have to worry about that rusting out any time soon.
And those bushings are actually bronze, excuse me. I think I said copper before. They are bronze bushings, so that's pretty typical.It's pretty simple installation. You'll just need to follow the instructions that come with the equalizers. You might need to purchase center hangers which are sold separately to suspend the equalizers.
That would be the portion that goes up here at the top and the bolts that insert into those bolt holes.This is going to work with tandem actual trailers with double eye leaf springs, and an axle capacity between 3,500 pounds and 8,000 pounds. As far as the distance between those bushings, side to side there, it's about six inches from center to center. And then from the center of our top hole to the mid-line in between are other two, it's about three and a quarter. So from the center of that top hole to the center of the other two, going straight down, is about three and a quarter inches. Overall, our equalizer measures about eight inches ling, and from the outside edge to outside edge, it's again, about eight inches wide.Overall, I think these really are going to be a great addition to your tandem axle trailer to make your towing experience much more comfortable and enjoyable.
They do come with a one year limited warranty from Lippert Components. And that's going to do it for our look at the road armor shock absorbing equalizer kit.
