Today we're going to be taking a look at the equalizer for 2" wide slipper springs. This is going to connect the slipper springs on a dual axle or triple axle trailer. You slip the arched end of the front spring into the equalizer so that it rests on a keeper bolt that I would install on this part. Keeper bolt is sold separately. Then, you would attach the rearmost spring with a shackle bolt that's sold separately as well, that will go on this side through the eye. Then, the unit's going to suspend from a center hanger right through the center here.
Center hanger is sold separately. This unit's going to transfer the load and sudden impacts from one axle to another by permitting movement between the axles. It's going to distribute weight evenly and it results in a smooth ride for the trailer. It's constructed of a high quality 1/4" thick hot rolled steel. So, if you're concerned about corrosion and rust resistance, then you will need to add some type of finish to the unit. I would just recommend a corrosion resistant paint that can be added on and that would protect it pretty well. It does not include a center bushing, so you can see here that's just steel right there, so no center busing.
Again, this is designed for a 2" wide slipper leaf spring. The center bolt hole diameter is 7/8". The side bolt hole diameter for mounting the spring, that would be this right here, is 9/16" in diameter. The side bolt hole diameter for the keeper bolt, this side right here, is 3/8". Overall length of the unit measuring from edge to edge, that's going to measure 11". The height, that's going to be 3 1/2".
From the center of the 3/8" diameter hole to the center of the center hole, that's going to give us a measurement of around 5 3/8". From the center of the 9/16" diameter hole to the center of the center hole, that's going to be about 4 5/8". That's going to do it for today's look at the equalizer for 2" wide slipper springs.

11" Long equalizer connects slipper springs on tandem- or triple-axle trailers and allows for enough movement between the axles to keep the ride smooth and the load undisturbed. Fits springs with 9/16" diameter eye.I'll have to modify these to fit an older trailer that the parts are no longer available for. ( Shorten them up and redrill the spring eye and retaining bolt holes.) But these will fit the ticket and be better than the originals when I'm done.
These fit perfectly on my triple axle Kaufman trailer where I replaced all 4 of them. I got some commercial quality spray paint and painted them black. I'll also include some pictures of my old ones that were original with the trailer. You can see they definitely needed to be replaced! I always use etrailer for my trailer parts. Everything is good quality, fits perfectly, and arrives on time.
Some 14K trailers use 11" equalizer slipper boxes, some use 12". The main issue is that the "V" piece on the slip end wears down allow the slipping spring to come out past the bottom keeper bolt. The 2nd problem is the welds for the center bolt sleeve break. Those welds are usually pretty minimal so check them before installing and add some weld to them if you want to.
Always the best
Nicely made, fit fine, though the pivot tube could have been welded up with more filler metal. I welded it some more myself and I am satisfied.
Shipped to my door 3 days from ordering. Perfect fitment for my trailer which got me back rolling
