• Orientation of the Shackles When Using Straight Equalizer on Trailer Suspension
  You would want the shackle straps of your trailer suspension to be both pointing the same direction. The would need to be pointed up on the straight equalizer part # TREQR83. I attached a picture that shows how the straps should orientate with the equalizer. Having one up and one down would mean that the equalizer would be angled and wouldn't be installed correctly. Sometimes the shackles can flip themselves up like this, but the equalizer wouldn't want to function properly and most...

• Should Nylon Bushings on TruRyde Straight Equalizer Be Greased
  Applying some grease like # L11316 to the nylon bushings on the TruRyde Straight Equalizer # TREQR83 is a good idea during installation, as it will both allow the shackle bolts to insert with greater ease and will provide good lubrication for the whole assembly. After the initial install it's recommended to lubricate the equalizers about once every 3 months or 3,000 miles. You can pair the equalizer with some wet bolts like the 3-1/2 inch # 126A1 and a grease gun # L30416 to further...

• Trailer Axle/Suspension System for Off Road 5 by 8 Trailer for Ground Clearance
  The best suspensions system I could recommend for your offroad trailer that you plan to run big tires on would be the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR35HDS02.

Without knowing exactly what tire size you have and your other trailer dimensions its hard...

• Availability of a 12 Inch Long Trailer Suspension Equalizer
  For double eye springs, the longest I could find was the 8 inch # TREQR83, or # TREQR89. But, for slipper springs, there are some longer options. Closest to 12 inches we have the 11-1/2 inch # TREQ4541. You will want to be careful when moving axles because if they are too far apart, one set of wheels could drag the ground as you turn. It could also change the tongue weight of the trailer and you will need to account for any changes made when towing. There could be additional different...

• Equalizers Needed for Blue Ridge Fifth Wheel Trailer
  When replacing equalizers, the length of the new equalizers needs to match that of the existing equalizers as closely as possible. The length of an equalizer is measured from center of bolt hole to center of bolt hole. Another measurement that needs to be taken into consideration is the height of the equalizer. The height of the new equilizer can be slightly different than the current height, but it should still try to be close to the existing equalizers' height. I have attached...
