Today on our trailer, we're gonna review and install the red line tandem axle trailer equalizer kit. Part number AP202. Here's what an equalizer kits gonna look like once it's installed. Now an equalizer kit re-secures both the springs and the equalizer but keep in mind that the leaf springs are not part of the install kit. Our kit comes with the necessary fasteners for re-securing not only the new equalizer but our springs as well. It's got two large shackle bolts and two small slipper bolts. It also comes with the equalizer bolt. This particular equalizer bolt is also greasable.
Here it has a grease zerg to allow us to pump grease into the bolt and it'll spread through the equalizer to give it some lubrication so when it's moving as it goes down the road, it doesn't wear out the bolt. Now with the old leaf spring and equalizer still installed. We can take a look at reasons for replacing your equalizer and springs. For this application, our equalizer is bent up and the center bolt is worn so that the equalizer doesn't shift properly. Here we can see the spring is also been over loaded and the strap is no longer holding the spring pack like it should. Next we'll go ahead and get our old parts out of the way. Now with the old parts off, let's just go ahead and compare them to some of the new parts.
Here we have our shackle bolt that connects the leaf spring to the shackle. We can see the old volt is worn down and it's even displaced some of the metal. You can see it's thinner where it rides on the shackle. The new one will be splined into the shackle so the bolt doesn't rotate and it'll tighten up our suspension because it's not worn like the old bolt. Now for our equalizer bolt we can really get an idea of the excessive wear that was going on. We've got about a quarter inch of metal that's been removed from the bolt from wear.
Now we've got the new parts laid out. Let's go ahead and start installing them. We'll start with our equalizer. Notice here on the outside of the shackle for the equalizer is a square that will line up with the shackle bolt for the equalizer. Get our equalizer into place. Slide our bolt into position and then put the lock nut on the inside.
Now keep in mind as we install our fasteners, we're just gonna install then finger tight until everything is in place. Next we'll go ahead an install our forward leaf spring. We've got our new shackle bolt to hold it in place. Now with our shackle bolt in place, we'll go ahead and install the equalizer slipper spring bolt. Again, the bolt will go from the outside in and install the lock nut. Now let's move to the rear spring. Now we're ready to tighten down our fasteners. We're gonna work the largest to the smallest. Starting here with the equalizer bolt. Make sure you hold the equalizer bolt in place because of the squared section on the outside of the shackle and then tighten it down. Quick tech tip, even though our shackle bolt is splined, I like to hold it with a wrench so that it doesn't put any excessive pressure on the bolt and it strips out when you tightening it down. And just like that, our red line tandem axle equalizer kit, part number AP202 is installed and we're ready to reinstall our axles and hit the road.

Kit includes 10-1/8" long equalizers and necessary bolts and shackles for suspending your leaf springs from your trailer frame. Use with H202 or H238 hangers for a complete tandem-axle kit.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
Parts fit perfectly. I didn't receive two of the lock nuts for the wet bolt. But after a quick email to the etrailer rep, they had a packagein the mail and on the way the following day. Very pleased with the parts and service.
Great value for this kit, as its complete with all the needed hardware. I would buy this kit again,and I highly recommend etrailer, they are the best when it comes to service and delivery!!!!
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)

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!!!!
Maybe add the plastic bushings for the springs to the kit would be great. Everything else was great
Contained ALMOST everything I needed to replace the worn slipper spring equalizers on my trailer. Ended up having to order four TRBU12566 nylon bushings since they were totally worn out, so I had to wait another week for those to arrive to complete the project. Would recommend adding the bushings as a "related product" or putting a set of 4 in the kit.
Perfect replacement fit for my old equipment trailer suspension. Easy to use website made getting the correct replacement parts the first try. Nice heavy duty construction that bolted in exact fit.
Was easy to use the web sight and find the correct parts for my 1990 Logan coach horse trailer everything fit perfectly and I’m still on the road thanks to etrailer

Received the parts this morning and had the trailer back together in an hour.
