• Never Fail Bushings and Bolts for a Trailer with Equa Flex Cushioned Equalizers
  
• The Never Fail bushings come in a variety of quantities. We have an 8 pack, # LC279684, a 14 pack # LC279685, a 22 pack # LC279686, and a single # LC281625. I didn't know if you wanted to have some extras for spares or not so I listed all the options. Please note Never Fail bushings should be used with standard suspension bolts only. Do not use wet bolts with these bushings as the grease can cause the bushings to degrade. If you wanted to use wet bolts at places that don't use the Never...

• Bushings, Shackle Straps, and Wet Bolts for Tandem Axle Trailer
  
• The bronze bushings with 9/16 inner diameter come as a single, # D014-077-00, or in a pack of four, # K71-291-00. The closest shackle strap we have to that length is 3-1/8 inches. I've linked our selection for you. We do carry a heavy-duty strap that's 3-3/4 inches long, part # 018-026-05. We have wet bolts that are 3 inch, # 126B2, but the 3-1/2 inch long bolt that will fit the 9/16 inch bushing is not a wet bolt, # 166079. All of the prices can be seen on the linked product pages.

• Recommended Trailer Suspension Upgrade On 2016 StarCraft 24 RLS
  
• For a suspension upgrade on your 1216 StarCraft 24 RLS, I recommend the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 2-1/2" Round Axles - 7,000 lbs # TSR7000T06. This system replaces leaf spring suspension to provide a stable ride distributing weight evenly between both axles. Rubber springs absorb road shock. This installation requires a 2 inch by 4 inch hollow steel crossmember with 3/16 inch thickness that is not included. If you have 3 inch axles, you will want #...

• Replacement Leaf Springs, Equalizers, and U-bolts for ALKO T52 Axles
  
• Those may not be the original springs on your Springdale. According to ALKO the T52 axle would either have a 5 or 6 leaf spring at a length of 26 inches. To be accurate the springs should be measured with no weight on them because they will otherwise flatten out some leading to a longer measurement. ALKO shows the 4-leaf spring for the T52 at a length of 25-1/4 inches. If you measure it at about 25-1/4 inches with no weight on the spring then you can use # SP-218275 for 5K axles. If...

• Can E-Z Flex Rubber Suspension System Work w/ Wide Trax Trailer Suspension
  
• I have a possible solution for you, but unfortunately the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System such as the 5-5/8" Equalizers # K71-652-00, will not work with the Wide Trax suspension on your trailer. The axles on a Wide Trax system are spaced further apart and the required equalizer components are significantly larger than the E-Z Flex Systems. A much larger equalizer like the 14-5/8" Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers, part # LC314336 may be the correct length. You will want to...

• Bolts Needed To Install Slipper Springs
  
• For the spring eye you would use the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long # 166079, but slipper springs don't have the second spring eye, so a bolt is not used on the back end. You can also use a wet bolt like # 126B2, for less friction. The Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long # 166081 are for use with the spring and shackle straps used with a shackle straps on a tandem setup with an equalizer but it could be used for the springs and the...

• Upgrade for Dexter Curved Equalizer 13-142
  
• Yes, there is an upgrade for the Dexter Curved Equalizer part # K13-142-02 that you have on your trailer now and that is the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers part # LC314336 which have a rubber core that minimizes back-and-forth movement in addition to helping absorb road shock. You can also add the Wet Equalizer Bolt part # 126B2 for an even greater upgrade to your existing suspension. I have attached review videos on both of the above items for you.

• Equalizer Kit Replacement Recommendation for Equalizers that are 7-1/2 inches Long
  
• Since your equalizers are longer than what we have kits for you'll need to piece the kit together you'd need to replace the equalizers, bolts, shackles, and nuts. For the equalizer you'd need to start with the part # TREQE1, then for bolts I'd recommend the wet bolts part # 126B2, for shackles you'd want the part # 115052 which are 2-5/8 inches long.

• Comparing Bronze and Nylon Bushings for Trailer Suspension
  
• It really just depends on what you are looking to get out of the bushings. Bronze bushings, like part # K71-291-00, will last longer but are more noisy and it is recommended to use wet bolts like part # 126B2 to keep them lubricated. Nylon bushings, like part # SP05-060, are much quieter and can be used with regular bolts like part # 166081 since they don't need to be lubricated as much. As far as lifespan goes the bronze will last longer but not so much longer that they are much better...

• Recommended Leaf Springs for Vintage Trailer
  
• The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 27" Long # SP-210275 will work with your vintage trailer. It looks from the photo like you would also need the Replacement U-Bolt with Nuts for 2" Wide, Square Trailer Axles - 9/16" Diameter # 175211 and the U-Bolt Plate - 2" Wide, Square Trailer Axle - 1-3/4" Wide Spring - 9/16" Bolts # TRTP200175. You will need to reuse your shackle straps, but you can use the Wet Equalizer Bolt with Locknut and Grease Zerk for Double-Eye Springs...

• EquaFlex Equalizer Replacement Recommendation for 2016 Keystone Passport 2670BHWE
  
• Based on the picture you attached of you measuring your current equalizer the Equa-Flex kit you'd want is the part # LC314336 which has very similar dimensions. Check out the picture I attached that shows them. The 4,500 lb leaf spring you'd then want is the part # SP-256275 which measures 26 inches in length. If you have a different length let me know and I'll see what would be the best solution. Looking at your picture the shackle straps and bolts seem to be in decent shape but for...

• Replacement Shackle Straps For 1999 Ranger Boat Trailer With Tandem Axles
  
• On your 1999 Ranger boat trailer with tandem axles, I recommend the Replacement Shackle Link with Bolts for Dexter Trailer Suspension Kits # 018-026-05. If instead you want to piece together your system, I recommend using the Locknut - 9/16" Diameter # TRFA916DLNZ, never fail bushings # LC279684, and galvanized strap # 18-11GALV. If you want to use the regular wet bolts, you can use # 126B2. If you want a complete basic kit, you can use the Tandem-Axle Trailer Equalizer Kit for 1-3/4"...

• We do have the bronze bushings, # D014-077-00, and wet bolts, # 126B2, to use with the Equa-Flex Equalizer. Or combine the bushings, wet bolts, and 1/2 inch shackle straps with # K71-358-00. Yes, the main bolt that attaches the Equa-Flex to the hanger can be replaced with the same wet bolt, # 126B2. You can also use the same bronze bushing, # D014-077-00, here too.

• Recommended Shackle Bolt for 2,000 lb Utility Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension System
  
• The Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long # TRFA73Z916DLNZ is a grade 5 bolt. Your setup as described is a standard setup for leaf spring hangers and double eye leaf springs. The # 166081 is made by the same manufacturer and is used more commonly than zinc plated for most factory applications. The cost difference comes down to supply and demand. The Dexter bolt # 007-003-01 is simply a different manufacturer that has a big name in the trailer axle market. ...

• Recommended Suspension Enhancement For Lift On 2004 Weekend Warrier Toy Hauler LE 3105
  
• You are on the right track. The Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers - Double Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 6K to 8K # LC279688 will give you a suspension enhancement and give you a little bit of a rise. With this system you will need 14 wet bolts # 126B2 (8 for shackle straps, 2 for equilizers, and 4 for springs) so you are right on that. These are compatible with the # SP-053275 leaf springs. It is recommended that you tack weld your axle where the springs ride when you flip the axles, so...

• Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes, Leaf Springs, Bearings, Hardware, & Brake Lines for Dexter 7K Axles
  
• Since the ProLube kit # XLPROLUBE2440KIT is only rated for use on 5,200 to 6,000 pound axles I do not recommend using it for 7,000 pound axles. Grease would be better for marine applications since a hub full of grease repels water and an oil bath hub could just let the water set on top. The correct grease seal for disc brake kit # K2HR712D is # RG06-070. It does have an inner diameter of 2.25 inches and the outer diameter at 3.376 inches will fit the hub in the disc brake kit.

• How to Prevent Leaf Springs from Hitting Trailer Frame on a Gooseneck Trailer
  
• It sounds like the eye of the leaf spring is coming in contact with the bottom of the trailer frame. If this is the case then your only three options to fix this would entail either replacing the equalizers, shackle straps, or leaf spring hangers. The equalizers and leaf spring hangers would need to be taller and the shackle straps would need to be shorter in order to gain the clearance you are looking for. The leaf spring hangers will require you to cut off the old and weld the new on...

• How to Stop Squeaking, Noisy Suspension on a 7,000 Pound Travel Trailer

These will allow you to retain the axles you have and replace the steel suspension with rubber suspension. Either system is rated for 7,000 pounds total. Another option to reduce or possibly eliminate the noise from the suspension is to use 2 sets of Timbren Axle-Less system # ASR3500S05. These will replace...

• The most popular shackle bolt to use with a spring like the part # SP-212275 that matches the descripton you listed is the part # 126B2 which is the correct size and has a zerk fitting so that you can easily grease the bolt if needed. The overall length of the bolt is 3-5/8 inch, the usable length is 3 inch, and the diameter is 9/16 inch which is the most common size.

• 2-3/4 Inch Long Shackle Straps and Wet Suspension Bolts for Trailer Suspension
  
• The eye center to center measurement on the shackles included with Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-358-00 are 3-1/4 inches apart. You would need to piece together a similar kit since there are no options that already have 2-3/4 inch shackle straps. For shackle straps you can use # TRSL275, sold as singles. And for a wet bolt with nut, also sold as singles, you can use # 126B2. The shackle straps aren't the thick kind like in kit # K71-358-00 though.

• Recommended Disc Brakes For 2016 Grand Design GD Momentum With Lippert 7000 lb Triple Axle

These fit the industry standard number 42 spindles. For this you will need the inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # 02475 along with oil seal # 10-63.

• Comparing Wet Bolts to the Never Fail Bushings
  
• Even though the Wet Equalizer Bolts, like part # 126B2, are very convenient and easy to use, the Never Fail system is the way to go.

The bushings are self-lubricating and are made of an extra-durable, modified polyamide construction so they never wear out.

• The Dexter Heavy-Duty Tandem-Axle Trailer Suspension Kit # K71-449-00 that you referenced is designed for tandem axles with a 35 inch axle spacing and springs that are 1-3/4 inches in width. You would need to move the suspension hangers in the front and in the back on your trailer to use this kit. For an equalizer that is 5-3/4 inches from bolt hole center to bolt hole center from left to right you would want the part # TREQ104. For wet bolts you would need part # 126B2, for shackles...

• 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...

• Wet Bolts for Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers
  
• Yes, we do have the wet equalizer bolts you can use with the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers. You will need # 126B2. I have included a picture showing a typical installation of the bolts being used to secure the springs to an equalizer. Installation of the wet bolts and of the equalizer (in this case) are independent of each other. The Wet bolts are 9/16 inches in diameter so if the brass sleeve in the Equa-Flex makes the hole diameter too small either smaller bolts or no brass sleeves...
