Nice kit, everything fit like it should, easy to install, with the wear this trailer had, obviously had to do a little tapping here and there.
by: Charles05/01/2022
service was excellent as usual delivered earlier than promised. I was however disappointed in what I received. The ubolts were not as promised. they only had 2 inches of thread I needed about 21/2. This was a surprise as I was told they would have 4 inches.This meant a trip to an automotive store to get what I needed. now I have 8 ubolts that are not much good to me. How unlike etrailer.
Comments
I checked and we do not have nine sixteenth suspension bolts that will have a longer thread length.

Full disclosure: we boat in brackish water in Florida, but I always hose the trailer down afterward.
Springs work as they should and installation was straightforward. However, I’m not sure how long they’ll last. After only 5 or 6 launches/ retrievals last year, this is what they look like now. The springs and equalizer must’ve been spray-painted at the factory, not powder-coated. I believe made in China. I even soaked the bolts and links in motor oil before installing to stave-off corrosion. I just hope we don’t have a failure on the road any time soon because of this accelerated corrosion!

After all of the bad weather I was able to finish installing my new suspension system on my 1992 Lance Fifth Wheel. The task was much easier than I had anticipated. The instructional video you provide access to were a big help. Other than having to grind off a nut or two I had no difficulties (See attached photos). The 'list' that had developed on the fifth wheel is now resolved, and towing has already proven to be better.
by: Michael06/14/2022
I ended up buying something different. Very poor quality. I did email etrailer to see if they would do something and waited a couple of weeks for a response and I’m still waiting. After the second nut and bolt combo stripped I pulled everything from this kit off and put it where it belonged. In the garbage. Sorry for the bad review but I tried.

I sent a note to customer service about this and they will reach out.

You buy two kits works fine for a three axle trailer real pleased with product thanks
by: Leon10/08/2022
E trailer delivered the product 2 days earlier than estimated. They were delivered in good condition, and quality products as usual.
by: CK05/14/2022
Trailer has 13000 miles, much of it on rough highways. I realized there was looseness in the suspension and could see the shackle holes were showing some elongation. This kit restored it to good running condition. The marks on the parts indicate they are of the same manufacture as the original equipment from LCI. I am very satisfied with the results. I also changed the original equipment brake assemblies at the same time installing Axletek self adjusting brake assemblies.
by: William02/06/2023
I ordered some stuff and the order was acknowledged immediately. I waited a few days and it showed up. The order was correct and my card wasn't charged until the order shipped. Everything was exactly as it should be. Can't do much better than that.
by: Gary01/27/2023
I was very pleased with the expert and friendly guidance that I received when purchasing the trailer brakes and suspension components. The staff was thorough in ensuring I had the correct components for the weight and use of my trailer.

Everything as expected. Great customer service area also. Working great on trailer should of done this year's ago. Thank you and I'll be back

Very high quality replacement springs and bolts
by: John08/09/2019
Excellent replacement parts for worn out trailer suspension. Fitment was great. And shipped fast.
by: JP01/22/2023
Never been so impressed with the level of service or quality of product. Absolutely not only would buy from them again, I have multiple times. And will continue to do so for any future trailer parts!!!!
by: Tara 11/25/2022
Customer service was great- I called to make sure I was ordering the right part and they helped me to review my items and confirmed that it was the part I needed. Delivery was as expected and the product was perfect!
by: Blair01/22/2023
they worked well on dexter axles
by: Dustin Z04/25/2018
Well, my suspension replacement and over/under swap went great! You guys were very helpful in ensuring I got the right parts and didn't waste money on shipping and other parts I didn't need. It tows like a dream now. I hardly even notice it behind me and I really don't have to slow down to .05 MPH for every little dip in the road.
by: Mark05/18/2018
Converted my 30 ft home built trailer to carry my 25 ft sailboat with 3 1/2 ft keel. I needed new springs to carry her weight Your parts arrived on time. So far all is going well on the upgrade. Thanks for the positive information and can do attitude of your company.
by: Daniel10/09/2022
quality is on par with price. cost effective rebuild
by: Eric 10/20/2021
This kit worked out perfect for my 16' 89 layton travel trailer. I have the elusive 2800 lb axles (which axle tube diameter matches 3500lb axles) which I have been told by etrailer tech support were made specially for the RV industry. I also replaced the leaf springs but had to get them elsewhere because etrailer does not stock them. The info on the 2800 lb axles I got from etrailer was invaluable in being able to locate the leaf springs I needed.
by: Mike V06/16/2022
I received this product and had a manufacturing issue. After a few emails back and forth I was fully refunded. Unfortunately this stuff happens and I wanted to thank etrailer for taking care of the issue. Thank you and I look forward to continued business.
by: John04/05/2022
The suspension kit was just what I was expecting they are high Quality for the price I payed I would definitely get parts from etrailer again.
by: Denise09/29/2022
Ease to find the items that were needed. Fast delivery. Appreciated the additional information regarding each product, it was helpful to make a good purchase.

great customer service fast shipping best place to get all your trailer needs
by: Paul06/19/2022
Seems like a good product haven't tested it yet only thing that could be better is the way it's shipped bolts were all loose in box which could cause the threads to get mangled

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
- Replacement Equalizer Kit For Coachmen Camper TrailerThe Tandem-Axle Trailer Equalizer Kit, part # AP233 includes (2) part # TREQ104 equalizers, which are replacements for the 13-104-2 equalizers. The kit also includes the shackle straps, bolts, and locknuts.
view full answer... - Replacement Equalizers Needed for EZ Loader Boat TrailerWhen it comes to determining which equalizers are needed for your EZ Loader boat trailer, you will need to get some measurements. I have included a diagram with information as to what measurements are needed. I have also included a link to our equalizers and once you have the measurements you can use the filters on the page to narrow the search. It has already been narrowed down to those for the 1-3/4 inch spring. If you would still like to send me the picture and also your equalizer measurements,...

- Finding Correct Replacement Tandem Trailer Axle Equalizer KitAs long as the new equalizer has the same hole spacing as the existing equalizer, it'll work just fine. You'll also want to make sure the height of the equalizer is also the same. Put a ruler across the center of the two bottom bolt holes, and measure up to the center to the top bolt hole. If this distance is about two inches, then the # AP233 would be the correct replacement.

- Replacement Shackle Links for Suspension on 2003 Keystone MontanaTrailer makers like Keystone do not maintain specs on smaller items like the suspension components such as shackle links used in their trailers. So to choose new ones you can match up the length and hole diameter to your original links. You can see all of our shackle links on the page provided for you. I also linked the main page for all trailer suspension items such as bushing and shackle bolts.
view full answer... - Are Bushings Required with the Tandem-Axle Trailer Equalizer Kit # AP233The equalizers of the part # AP233 have bushings in them already. The leaf springs you would use these with would already have bushings as well most likely. Typically people do not need to buy bushings with this kit or with this kit plus leaf springs.
view full answer... - How Tight Should Trailer Suspension Hanger/Equalizer Bolts Get TorquedSuspension bolts are not designed to be torqued down tightly as this prevents the suspension from being able to move like it needs to be able to do. So the included solution with the kit part # AP233 is the lock nuts of the kit. The nuts have nylock in them which means that they will not back off regardless of how "loose" they are installed on the bolts. Basically you tighten the nuts down so that the excess side to side movement is removed from them but the shackles can still freely move...
view full answer... - Do the Equalizers of Kit # AP233 Have BushingsYes, there is a bushing inside the equalizer kit part # AP233 that you referenced.
view full answer... - Are Nuts that Come with Trailer Suspension Kit # AP233 Lock NutsThe threads of the nuts that come with the Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # AP233 that you referenced are considered lock nuts. They should thread pretty tightly once the nut gets significantly onto the bolt which prevents it from backing off.
view full answer... - Where is Trailer Suspension Equalizer Length MeasuredThe equalizers in trailer suspension hanger kit # AP233 are 5-3/4 inches long measured from the center of one spring eye to the center of the other spring eye. I have included a picture illustrating this for you.
view full answer...
- What Is Normal Deflection Of Leaf Springs On TrailerThe typical spring deflection for leaf springs on a trailer is up to 1-1/2 inches when at capacity. The recommended clearance with leaf spring suspension on an unloaded trailer is between 2 - 2-1/2 inches. It sounds like you have a little more than that since you flipped your axle. Leaf springs only tend to deflect about 1-1/2 inches when carrying a load.
view full answer... - Why Would Trailer Axle Move to Left When Brakes are AppliedPart of your suspension setup is damaged. Before you drive your trailer again check out all of the suspension components on the trailer. Most likely there's something broken on the passenger side that allowing the axle to move. Let me know what you find that's broken with pictures if you can and we can see what would work best to fix it.
view full answer... - Bushing Material in Equalizers of Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # AP233The bushings that are in the equalizers of the kit part # AP233 are Nylon.
view full answer... - How Tight Should Shackle Link Nuts Be On Trailer SuspensionIn regards to trailer suspension kits like the Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers part # AP233, the shackle bolt heads are indeed seating into the hangers via the knurling on the bolt. If you hold a wrench on the bolt head and tighten the nut, this will seat the knurling. The bolt does not pivot on the outer shackle links but rather the spring/equalizer pivots on the bolt. There is no torque spec for this bolt/nut, you'll stop tightening when the spring/equalizer does not have any...
view full answer... - What is Bolt Hole to Bolt Hole Shackle Strap Length of AP233The shackle straps of the # AP233 are 2-1/4 inches in length from bolt hole center to bolt hole center.
view full answer... - Determining What Hanger Spacing For Tandem Axle Trailer Using 28-3/4" Long Leaf SpringsI would be happy to help, but the only way to find the exact location for mounting the hangers to your boat trailer is going to be by tacking the hangers in place and moving them around until you get the suspension correct. When done correctly the shackle straps on the equalizer should point like a W like in the included picture. Your 730mm spring translates to 28-3/4" which is not a very common length so there is not exact hanger spacing anywhere for a spring that length. On all of the...
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Shackle Recommendation to Replace Shackle that is 2-1/2 inch on CentersThe closest shackle we offer to the 2-1/2 inch size you need is the part # 115052 which is 2-5/8 inches from hole center to center. This would only be 1/8 of an inch larger than what you need so it would work well.
view full answer... - Can 5-3/4 Inch Tandem Axle Equalizers be Replaced with 5-5/8 Inch EqualizersThe Tandem-Axle Equalizer Kit, # AP233, will work as long as all other measurements are the same. Check that your shackle straps are 2-1/4 inches from center hole to center hole. The 5-3/4 inch long equalizer, # TREQ104, we carry is a direct replacement for the 5-5/8 inch long equalizer.
view full answer... - Height of Equalizers Included in Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # AP233-H248Yes, the equalizers included in the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # AP233-H248 measure 2 inches tall (from eye hole to eye hole on center). I have attached a diagram to assist.

- Trailer Equalizer Kit Recommendation that are 5 inches LongBest option we have would be the part # APT5 which comes with equalizers that have outer bolts that are 5-3/4 inches apart on center which would be close enough to work in your application. The shackle straps are 2-1/4 inches long and the bolts are 9/16 inch which is the standard diameter for trailer suspension bolts.
view full answer... - Replacement Equalizers and Leaf Springs for Tandem Axle with 3,500 lb AxlesSounds like it's a good time to replace all of the leaf springs and equalizers. So for springs the part # SP-212275 would be a great option as this is a tiny bit shorter than your current springs (they stretch slightly over time), and they are rated for 3,500 lb axles. Then for an equalizer kit the part # AP233 would replace all of your bolts, equalizers, shackles, and nuts.
view full answer... - Recommended Equalizer Kit for 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-220275Along with the Universal Group 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-220275 that you referenced, it sounds like you are needing a replacement Equalizer Kit for your trailer. Based on the dimensions you provided, I recommend taking a look at the Redline Tandem-Axle Trailer Equalizer Kit # AP233. This kit includes two equalizers that measure 5-3/4 inches long from the center of one spring eye to the center of the other spring eye. I have included an image that clarifies its dimensions. We do not...

- Should Nylon Bushings in Tandem-Axle Trailer Equalizer Kit AP233 Be GreasedWhen installing Tandem-Axle Trailer Equalizer Kit # AP233 or a similar kit you will probably find it easier to insert the shackle bolts into the bushings if you lightly grease the bolts. A small amount of lubrication will both aid installation and provide a degree of lubrication for the whole assembly. You can use a general-purpose lithium grease like # L11316.
view full answer... - Do Trailer Suspension Equalizer Kits Come with Leaf Spring BushingsMost leaf springs for trailers come with bushings so the equalizer kit part # AP233 does not include them. We offer some bushings though if you are in need of them. I attached a link to a page that has all of them. You will need to determine the inner and outer diameters that you need plus the width. A very popular one is the part # TRBU11566 that has an ID of 9/16 inch, is 1-3/4 inches long and has an OD of 11/16 inch.
view full answer... - Do Trailer Suspension Equalizers Carry Weight RatingsTrailer suspension equalizers like # TREQ104 do not carry weight ratings but they are available in many different sizes. They will handle as much weight as any springs you'll be using with them. Part # TREQ104 measures 5-3/4-inches between its lower hole centers and kit # AP233 includes this same item among its component parts.
