Most Popular Tandem Axle for 1972 Chevrolet Blazer

Shipped fast looks good will be putting it on my trailer this weekend.

I bought the spring kit to put on my home built trailer that I put my old heavy slide-in camper on. It more than met my expectations. There was no sway at 75mph or on the 5 mile trail back to camp.

My old trailer had some play in the suspension and visibly worn parts so I just ordered every thing except for the axles them selves. Glad I did too. Here are some pics of the old parts and new.

High quality appears to be stronger than the original from the factory.

Got the kit today. Some of the nuts were oval and would not fit on the bolt of course. Now I have to go to box store and find nuts that fit! Not very good quality control!!

We have had great experience with eTrailer, These parts came in as described.

Works like their supposed too. I've built several trailers and all were built with etrailer parts, good quality, good service and great prices.

Very good quality. I was really surprised at the high quality material and welds for the price I paid.

Less bouncing, furniture doesn't move around when traveling on rough roads, better stability.

With all the proper tools, the install was only like 4 hours. I did this outside on a gravel driveway and then took to my local fire department where it was level to install the shocks. The ride difference was noticed immediately.

I used these to replace the leaf springs and equalizers on a 20’ gooseneck cattle trailer that I rebuilt. The ride is great and the usual rattling and clanging of the trailer going down the gravel road is gone. So far I am very happy with the ease of installation and the performance of the suspension. I guess only time will tell about the durability of the rubber components in the long run.

Happy with the online ordering.

Nice upgrade kit to replace worn parts on a 3 horse tandem axle trailer. Having the beefier shackle straps, bronze bushings, and ability to grease the moving points is a beautiful thing.

During my yearly maintenance i found a issue with 1 of my spring equilizers and all of my bushings were worn out "got my moneys worth out of them" etrailer sent this kit and it only took me 2 hrs to install and get back on the road

I got these for my 1998 Trail-et gooseneck 2 horse trailer after we upgraded from a 1994 truck to a 2023. The new truck is much taller so I needed to lift the trailer. This kit was perfect, all of the holes lined up perfectly and it gave me the height I needed. The hardest part was cutting the old bolts off the trailer.

This was a very easy install in the driveway. Only a couple hours start to finish.

This kit (a dual kit) changed my view of Dexter as a quality-first manufacturer. etrailer simply sells it, they don't make it, so they aren't to blame. This kit is made specifically for mounting Dexter's General Duty 9,000 lb axles in tandem and is different from kits made for 3500 to 8000 lb axles. It provides extra axle tube to frame clearance to accommodate the 4" axle tubes used on their 9k and 10k GD axles. It uses beefy 7/8" equalizer pivot bolts and 5/8" spring eye bolts. So far, so good. Until you pay over $350 for it and receive a suspension kit with absolutely ZERO lubrication provisions! Seriously, Dexter?!! The bolts provided are all just grade 5 hardware store plain jane dry bolts. Not even grade 8. Dexter sells 7/8" greaseable "wet bolts" and even their lighter-duty hanger kits include greaseable wet bolts. But even if I paid etrailer the nearly $XX apiece they want for them (they're half that price elsewhere), there is literally no way of putting a square-shouldered carriage-style bolt, which they are, in the round roles this hanger kit was manufactured with without modification. As for the 5/8" spring eye bolts, only a great deal of internet searching will find any wet bolts the right diameter, and they'll be the wrong length. Those 4 bolts are about $20 each plus shipping. So, by the time I pay a machine shop to square the equalizer bracket holes on and buy all the wet bolts, or have them made, JUST so I can lubricate this expensive hanger kit in hopes of it lasting more than a very short time on a trailer that often grosses 20k, I'm going to have over $500 invested in it, not counting all the extra wasted down-time. This kit was supposed to solve my trailer suspension problems, not create more. FAIL!!

I purchased the 7 leaf sliper spring to replace my old ones. etrailer had all the parts needed to rebuild my trailer. The parts fit perfectly. The people there are very knowledgeable about the trailer parts and what is needed and what will fit when replacing old worn parts. I would stronly recomend etrailer for any of your trailer needs.

Prior to installing this kit, I was unable to remove my tires without first deflating them. The same went for reinstallation. The kit works perfect and was easy to install. I'd recommend it for anyone needing to raise their trailer.

Customer service is impeccable and helpful. The length of the lift fit our mount but the wholes for two bolts didn’t line up. Our trailer has a Lippert Axle and we had to drill two holes to fit the bolts properly. I contacted Lippert and they no longer sell the lift kits. Aside from going to a shop and paying over $1k for someone to fabricate a solution for us; this is the route we chose.
