• Why Can't Correct Track Lift Kit be Used with MORryde CRE3000
  Hey Brian, I believe you are asking about the Correct Track lift kit part # RR23QX and why it can't be used with the CRE3000 kit like part # MR87ZR. The clearance issue is the square brackets of the Correct track that would need to attach to the outsides of the CRE3000 but the angled brackets on the silver part of the CRE3000 prevent the square bracket from being able to sit flush with the equalizer. That's why the cushioned equalizers that do work like the part # LC279688 have a totally...

• Upgraded Equalizer for 2010 Keystone Cougar Travel Trailer With 4,400 Pound Axles
  If you would like to add the Equa-Flex to your 2010 Keystone Cougar you will need the # LC279687. The # LC279688 is designed for 6,000-8,000 lb axles so it would be overrated for your trailer. The # LC279687 is for 3,000-6,000 lb axles. You will want to measure the eye to eye length of your existing equalizers to make sure this is a good fit for your trailer. The # LC279687 measures 5-1/2" long. As long as your measurement is close to this then it will work well for an upgrade. If your...

• Solution for Squeaky/Noisy Trailer Suspension with Equa-Flex Equalizers
  The squeaking noise on your trailer is probably coming from the joints in the suspension creating metal to metal friction. So, unless your original Equa-Flex Cusioned Equalizers are damaged or corroded, what will make the biggest difference is to upgrade the existing bronze bushings (which are known for being durable but also noisy) and hardware with the Never Fail Tandem Axle Suspension Upgrade Hardware Kit for Double Eye Springs # LC281285. The Never Fail bushings in this kit are self-lubricating...

• Equa Flex Equalizer Replacement Recommendation for TruRyde Equalizer TREQ310
  You can replace the TruRyde Triangular Equalizer # TREQ310 with the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279688, however there are a few things that you should take note of. First of all you will want to make sure that your axles are rated for 6K to 8K otherwise the ride will be too stiff. The second thing to notice is the dimensions of the centers of the eyes where your bolts will go. The TruRyde measures a width of 6-1/16" and a height of 4" while the Equa-Flex has a measurement of 7-1/2"...

• Is There an Equa-Flex Equalizer Kit that Fits 2015 Eclipse Attitude 32SAG
  The best way to determine if the Equa Flex kit part # LC279688 you referenced is going to fit is to compare it's dimensions to the dimensions of the equalizers you currently have. If they are the same or very close then they will work. I attached a picture of the dimensions of this for you to check out as well. If you have dimensions that are different let me know what you have and I'll see what the best option is.

• Selecting The Correct Cushioned Equalizer and Wet Bolt Kit For a Grand Design 2800BH
  The Lippert Equa-Flex # LC145546 is the closest cushioned equalizer from Lippert to fitting your Grand Design 2800BH. This particular kit is rated for 5K-8K axles. The MORryde CRE3000 # MR27ZR is going to be the best option for your camper. While this is rated for axles up to 8K all of the CRE3000 equalizers carry this same weight capacity. Do understand the different constructions for these equalizers mean while they may look similar they actually operate differently and since the Lippert...

• Replacement Leaf Springs for Pair of 6,000 lb Axles
  If you are measuring your current leaf springs and are getting 26 inches from the center of the spring eye to the center of the spring eye and they are older springs it makes sense that they were originally about an inch less than that because springs will flatten out over time. The best option we carry for your trailer is the 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000 lb Trailer Axles # e34SR which measures 25-1/4" long from center eye to center eye. You do not want your springs to go over the...

  The Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers - Tandem Axle # LC279687 will fit your 2007 Keystone Cougar 5th wheel. I also recommend using the Never Fail Bushings Kit # LC279684 for the complete maintenance free leaf spring bushing kit to match your equalizer's bushings.

• Replacement Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers for Dexter Equalizer Part 13-122
  The Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers part # LC279688 would indeed be the best fit replacement for the Dexter Equalizers part 13-122 you have now. However, as you mentioned the vertical bolt spacing will be about 2" taller which does indeed mean that the trailer will be raised but not necessarily the full 2". If you are looking for a cushioned equalizer upgrade that would not raise the trailer I recommend taking a look at the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System by Dexter Axle part...

• Selecting the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers For a Forest River Cherokee Artic Wolf 23MLE 5TH Wheel
  You will want to use the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279687 on your Forest River Cherokee Artic Wolf 23MLE 5th wheel. These equalizers are much closer to your 6-1/8" spread at 5-1/2". They are also designed for the lighter axles you have under your 5th wheel since they were designed for axles with individual capacities ranging from 3,000-6,000lbs. The Equalizers # LC279688 you found are not going to work correctly as the 7-1/2" bolt centers are much more than the difference above...

• Can Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers Bronze Bushings Be Replaced
  Yes, you can replace the bronze bushings in the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279688 with new ones like our Dexter Bronze Bushings Kit # K71-291-00.

• Comparing Lippert Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279688 and # LC145546
  The Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC145546 that includes the 4 wet bolts has greaseable pivot points. This means you can replace the lower bolts that hold the pivot arms in place and replace them with the 4 wet bolts. This kit is rated for 5,000lb to 8,000lb trailer applications. The Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279688 does not have greaseable pivot points and is rated for 6,000lb to 8,000lb trailer applications. Beyond those differences these are the same size with a 4" bolt...

• Correct Replacement for Dexter 13-10 Equalizer
  The correct replacement for a Dexter 13-10 Equalizer is the Triangular Equalizer part # TREQ310, not the Curved Equalizer part # TREQE1. If you want to upgrade, the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers part # LC279688 would work but you might want to go with a slightly shorter shackle strap like part # TRSL200 or part # TRSL225 due to the equalizer being longer. I have attached a list of our shackle straps below as well. The upgraded equalizer is going to be a night and day difference in regards...

• Replacement Upgraded Cushioned Equalizer for Equa Flex
  Thanks for the picture of the Equaflex equalizers you have on your 2022 Genesis Supreme. Based on that it looks like you have the part # LC279688. Based on that the best recommendation I can make to replace them would be the EZ Flex part # K71-653-00 which has same capacity and dimensions but is known to be more reliable than other options. We don't have air bag kits that fit your trailer but we do have suspension enhancement kits that would fit like the SumoSprings part # SS26MV which...

• Replacement Wet Bolts and Bushings for Equa-Flex Trailer Suspension
  Based on the 12,400-lb base weight of your 2016 Reflections 357BHS you should have the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizer # LC279688 which works with 6K to 8K axles. The wet bolt to use is part # LC126238; you will need 7 for each side of the trailer, so 14 in total. For Never Fail bushings use kit # LC279685, or for nylon bushings use # 721590.

• Upgrading Equalizers With Wet Bolts For a 2021 Grand Design Imagine 2910BH
  I do have a couple options for you as the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279688 are only recommended from Lippert to work with 6,000-8,000lb axles. I recommend the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-653-00 on your 2021 Grand Design Imagine 2910BH as this will also include the wet bolt kit components that you are looking for as well. This equalizer is designed to work with axles rated up to 8,000lbs each and includes the 2-1/4" length straps that you currently have. Another product...

• Will the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers Raise My Trailer
  The distance from the center of the uppermost bolt hole where it attaches to the leaf spring hanger to the center of the two bolt holes which attach to the left springs on the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers part # LC279688 is 4". If this distance is different on the equalizers you have on your trailer now then in theory it could raise or lower the trailer. However, this is not always the case and even if it was different, that does not mean it will raise or lower the trailer equal to the...

• Will the MORryde Premium Rubber Suspension Kit Replace Equa-Flex System with Correct Track
  The Equa-Flex equalizers # LC279688 are already a cushioned equalizer that's designed to provide an upgrade to a stock suspension and being completely honest, it's rather subjective to say whether the Equa-Flex system is better than the MORryde Premium Rubber Suspension Kit # MR47ZR. With that said, I really like the fact that the MORryde system gives you a cross-member that's attached to the equalizers which acts to help provide some added support to the trailer frame, so it does have...

• Torque Specs for Lippert Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers for Tandem Axle
  According to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279688, the nut threaded onto the equalizer bolt as well as the nuts threaded onto the shackle bolts should be tightened until they bottom out on the bolt shoulder at 30-50 ft-lbs.

• Can Equa-Flex Equalizers Add Height
  Possibly a bit; it just depends on the height of your current equalizers. The Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers - Double Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 6K to 8K # LC279688 measure 4 inches tall from bottom to top bolt hole, so if you use the same shackle straps and that is quite a bit taller than your equalizer you will add some height. It won't be much though, so if you don't want to add an over/under kit then the next best thing to do is to replace your hangers with taller ones, which can...

• Troubleshooting Lippert Never Fail Bushings That Don't Install Into Equa-Flex Equalizers
  I reached out to my contact at Lippert about what might be going on with your Never Fail bushings, like what comes with kit # LC281285, and he said that it sounds like you may be using the Never Fail bushings to push out your bronze bushings. If this is the case then that could very well cause the "balloon" effect that you show in your picture as the bronze bushings are stronger than the Never Fail bushings. Please also note that you won't be replacing the bushing in the top of the Equa-Flex...

• Shackle Kit for Equa Flex LC279688 with Wet Bolts and Bushings
  We have an EquaFlex wet bolt kit with the part # LC64FR which comes with new wet bolts, shackles, and nuts. The shackles are 3-1/8 inches like you mentioned wanting. Then for replacement bushings you'd want the part # LC32SV. These are available. It would not be required to go with taller hangers like you mentioned.
