I added a 3rd axle to our 2022 Salem FSX 270 TOY HAULER with K71-360-00
It worked AMAZING !! It fixed all the swaying problems and rides INCREDIBLE!!
Thanks again and I highly recommend etrailer.com!!



by:

Very happy with the new dexter spring suspension rockers and shackle pins that you are able to grease. Have pulled it a lot this past year and the suspension is still tight and pulling smooth.
PARTS AND SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT
Thanks Again

I’ve been rebuilding trailers for many years and was very happy with the service and quality of parts



by:

Great product, excellent service.



by:

etrailer always comes through with what we need



by:

I havent installed the kit yet but i have installed another kit abour 5 years ago. I am very pleased with the product. The shackles are twice as thick as previous. These new ones also have the bronze bushings installed with the 12 bronze bushings for my springs. Would recommend to another customer. The shipping was expedited efficiently and timely. Arrived quickly for regular free shipping. Thanks . Probably looking at buying 3 axle disc brakes from etrailer shortly.



by:

item was a perfect fit for a 2008 Heartland Cyclone. the measurements on description were a big help. Would definitely buy again.



by:

Awesome package!! I don't know why trailer manufacturers don't use the best when they build them. Everything fit perfect period way stronger than original equipment. Nice to be able to grease fittings no more nylon to wear out.



by:

Great service,rep was very helpful,kit installation was simple,a much better product than what came on the trailer



by:

Fit great, arrived quickly



by:

The order delivered was on time. However, being shipped all the way across the country and being a heavy package — the packing box was beat up and one small I item was lost. So I call the main number and talked to a company rep— looked up my order and they had the missing item in the mail that day. I received the part two days later. They were very professional and nice people to do business with. Thanks



by:

This is a great kit at a good price. Huge improvement over what my rv came with. No more worries



by:

This seems to be like a much improved system over factory. Heavier and everything is greasable.



by:

Quick shipping, products as described

  • 3rd Axle Addition on Fifth Wheel Toy Hauler
    You can absolutely add a 3rd braking axle to your trailer. You will simply want to match your current axle for dimensions and capacity. I've linked the page to your options we carry to assist. Then you will need to change your hanger locations so, I recommend using the Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 1-1/2" Front/Rear, 2-1/2" Center # APTT3 and I've attached a help article to assist with the placement. The leaf springs you need will depend on the axle capacity...

  • Tandem Axle Suspension Kit for 2018 Keystone Hideout with Tandem Axles
    I checked out your 2018 Keystone Hideout trailer and it has a tandem axle setup so for a similar kit to the one you referenced you'd want the part # K71-359-00 instead as this is a tandem axle setup from Dexter that matches the Dexter setup you have now that has shackle straps that are 2-1/4 inches long. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.

  • Hydraulic Brake Actuator and Brake Lines for Drum Brakes to Homemade Trailer
    The Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator # T4079200 can supply brakes to a triple axle trailer and Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-360-00 will work as a suspension kit for 1-3/4" wide, double eye springs on triple axle trailers. Actuator # T4079200 will work so long as the GVWR of your trailer is no more than 8,000 lbs as that is what it is rated for. The brake line kit that can work for you is the Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Triple Axle # HS496-253 which measures 24 feet long. I...

  • Why Would Trailer Suspension Shackles Flip Upside Down When Axle Drops
    If your shackles and equalizers are flipping upside down that would indicate you have either too wide of hanger spacing or you have equalizers that are too short. The easy solution will be to get the dimensions of your equalizer to me so that I can pick you out one that is slightly long and will make it much harder for the shackle to flip. I attached a page that has all of the equalizers we offer for you to check out. The lengths of them are organized on the filters on the left of the page.

  • Could Leaf Spring e94SR Fit a Heartland Cyclone
    When picking out leaf springs for a trailer priority one is the proper capacity. If you have 6k axles on your Heartland Cyclone then the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e94SR would fit and work well as a replacement. The hanger kit part # K71-360-00 would then work well with this spring as well. If your older springs were worn out and sagging because of that these would eliminate the sag. Since these springs are a little bit thicker the trailer would sit up a bit taller if the springs mount...

    It is very possible that the Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-360-00 you were looking at will fit your 2008 Heartland RV Cyclone 5th Wheel Triple Axle Toy Hauler, but to confirm this you will want to measure the length of your existing equalizers and shackle straps.

  • Recommended Lift Kit for Adding 2 Inches of Height To Tandem Axle Trailer
    There are two alternatives available, one that's a sure thing and one that's a possibility, depending on the current height of your spring hangers. The # RR23QX Tandem axle lift kit will bolt right up, providing almost 2 inches of additional lift with no welding required. Depending on the current height of your front, back and center spring hangers (measure from the center of the bolt hole that secures the spring to the underside of the frame member where the hangers mount) taller hangers...

  • Comparing Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Kit and Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit
    The Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Kit part # K71-360-00 has bronze bushings and wet bolts whereas the Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit part # APTT3 has nylon bushings and standard bolts. The bronze bushing resist wear more than nylon and the wet bolts make for easy maintenance. The two kits are cross-compatible.

  • What Should Hanger Spacing Be on Triple Axle Trailer Dexter Suspension Kit # K71-360-00 5,200LB Axle
    The Hanger # 28-5 spacing for the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-360-00 on your triple axle trailer is going to depend on the length of the leaf springs you are using. With the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e76SR having a length of 24-7/8" this means you will need your hangers spaced 29-1/2" from the center hanger to front and rear on center. The center hangers will be spaced 34" on center.

    The 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,500-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e27SR are the closest we have to what you are looking for. This will mean a possible change in the length of your shackle straps. These are the proper width and are 4 leaf springs capable of a 2,000 lb capacity individually or 4,000 lbs per axle. I have attached the dimensions of this spring to help. The capacity is more important than the number of leafs, so you want to get as close to your measurements as possible...

  • Upgraded Suspension and Replacement Bearings for Tandem Axle Travel Trailer
    Because the RV manufacturers don't keep a database for that information, I have no way of looking up the suspension geometry of your travel trailer. I was able to determine that you have tandem 3500 lb axles that would use an L68149 inner and L44649 outer bearing which are available individually or in a kit as part # BK2-100. The kit includes the inner and outer bearing, the inner and outer race, the grease seal, the tang washer and a replacement cotter pin. To determine the correct suspension...

  • Recommended Heavy Duty Suspension Kit For Triple Axle Toy Hauler W/ 33" Axle Spacing
    You are right on. Since you have 33" axle spacing and 6000lb axles on your triple axle toy hauler I recommend the Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-360-00 as it was designed to work with trip axle trailers with 33" axle spacing and axles up to 7000lbs each. The # K71-360-00 may ride a little rougher than your current setup since you are wanting to get away from the cushioned equalizers, but will give you the strength you are looking for.

  • Is 34" Axle Spacing Okay for the Dexter Axle Suspension Kit # K71-360-00
    The Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-360-00 is designed for 33" axle spacing. Since your current spacing is 34" this kit should fit just fine with your current hanger spacing. I have attached a picture showing what this kit should look like once installed. If you are wanting to get precise with your fit and measurements then I would need to know the length of your leaf springs (center-eye to center-eye) when your trailer is unloaded as well as the weight capacity of your axles.

  • How Many Spring Hangers Needed for Tandem Axle Trailer
    A tandem axle trailer would use a total of 6 spring hangers, three per side. The help articles I've linked for a Double-eye and a Slipper Spring suspension will explain more in detail about the components that make up a trailer suspension system.

  • Trailer Suspension Hangers for Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-360-00
    There are different hangers that you could use with the Dexter heavy duty suspension kit # K71-360-00. To achieve 4-1/2 to 5 inches clearance between the trailer frame and axles you could use 6 of hanger # 28-5. To achieve 3-1/2 to 3-1/4 inches clearance you could use 4 of front/rear hangers # 115917 and 2 of center hanger # 115918 but these are usually found on lower capacity axles. These are going to be the most common set ups and should work well for you.

  • Could the Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Kit K71-360-00 be Used with 34 inch Axle Spacings
    The # K71-360-00 is designed for use as a replacement equalizer kit for a triple axle setup with 33 inch axle spacings. That being said, if your leaf springs happen to be 1 inch longer and have a 34 inch spacing this kit would work too. The most important factor is that your leaf springs are 1-3/4 inches in width.

  • Where Does Third Axle Normally Install When Adding Axle to Tandem Axle
    The best axle location will be the location that allows the tongue weight of the trailer to be between 10 and 15 percent of the total trailer weight. We realize that's really hard to determine in your current situation since the trailer isn't built yet, but I did attach a link to a page that has info and formulas to help once you get to a place where you can place the axles. In general though when adding a third axle to a tandem the two axles would need to be moved forward a bit. A great...

  • Recommendation for Adding Third Axle To Trailer Suspension
    The Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-360-00 is designed for 33 inch axle spacing. To add your third axle, you cannot simply add a hanger spring and axle. You can keep your 35 inch spacing but you will need to relocate your hangers. I've attached an article to help with the proper positioning of your axles. You will need to add another equalizer of the same dimension as you have to each side and then add the same leaf springs and shackle straps as what you currently have. You...

  • Will Adding a Third Axle to A trailer Affect Its Tongue Weight
    Assuming that the way the load is distributed on the trailer isn't changing, adding the third axle shouldn't have much of an effect on the tongue weight. It will however better disperse the weight of the trailer down to the ground, resulting in less wear and tear on the suspension and running components like wheels, hubs and bearings assuming that the load on the trailer isn't increased.
