Most Popular Dexter for 2006 Dodge Ram Pickup

It has been over a year since I had rebuilt my trailers using parts purchased at etrailer. This is the first time that I have been able to put any real miles on the unit and with 800+ miles the lights and everything performed flawlessly. I will not think twice of making additional purchases from etrailer.

Parts arrived on time and suspension is working good. etrailer was cheaper than local sources on the suspension components.

I have a 99 cummins with 35s and a 5 inch lift. My 5th wheel now sits level and I even raised the king pin up another hole. I'd definitely buy this again

Kit arrived missing all but 2 of the ubolt nuts. No biggie, had some on hand. Went to install ubolts and they were too short. Bought new ones. Went to use top plate and it was too narrow. Had to make new ones. Only thing I used was the axle perches... Which you can buy anywhere. Total waste of money. Make your own kit like I ended up doing.

I ordered this kit to keep my 19' Coleman tent trailer from dragging the rear bumper on direveway approaches. Install was super simple, finished everything in about 40 minutes. I gained about 5 inches of added height. I chose to not tack weld the perches in case the next owner doesn't like the height. No problems with a few thousand miles of rough roads. Highly recommended.

It's not rocket science.... Very easy to install. I out these on a 20' big Tex trailer and did very small welds incase I decided to sell I can put it back to the original height. It raised the dovetail in the back 5 inches and couldn't be happier as we take a couple of rzrs in the mountains and it was tough getting this trailer in places without dragging it. I would recommend this kit

After a year and 20,000 miles, this was one of the best upgrades in towing and ride on my 42' fifth wheel. It took out a lot of the small bumps that would open cabinet's and knock things over in the shelves. Another great advantage is the bronze bushings are greasable and do not squeak like the OEM plastic, the OEM bushings had around 3000 miles and we're already worn through, the bronze if kept greased will probably last the life of the trailer.

You can tell a company that you want to do business with when something goes wrong. They did the right thing and upgraded the shipping so we can make our vacation spot on time when these slipped through shipping some how. Anyways they have me as a customer for life now! THANK YOU Jennifer and George. You are the reason I am now a happy camper!!!

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

After receiving my shipment yesterday, I was concerned that parts may have been missing due to the shape of the shipping box and the lack of packing material. During the installation of the shackles, the third shackle nuts/bolts stripped out when tightened by hand. The shackle had to be cut off since the nuts could not be properly tightened. I have emailed etrailer with this issue and hopefully we can resolve the issue quickly.

I really wanted to give this kit a 5 star review, however it fell short in more than one way. The parts are very nice and heavy duty looking and went together purrty good. However, when I went to grease the shackles none took grease it just came out around the fitting, so I changed the end on my grease gun thinking it was just worn out, still same problem. I had to hold the fitting on the zirk as hard as I could and finally got them to take grease, one still hasn't taken grease and not sure what I'm going to do. I left all hardware loose to this point to make sure there was no un nessesary pressure on anything hoping it would take grease easy. It's like the heads of the zirks are a size to small. After greasing everything the best I could I tightened everything up, during this process I had 2 nuts that the threads pulled out of... Just as they got tight they started to loosen up, I was using a standard length 1\2 drive craftsman ratchet, and I'm not hulk. I ended up having a few nuts and washers that worked but still this shouldn't have happened. Makes me wonder about the rest of the metals strength. Looks heavy duty but I'm starting to wonder about longevity.

after one year axle is very very rusty as well as the hangers and hubs, not sure why but not happy with the price vs quality of product

Received parts on time.

Installed these with the Lippert AP wet bolt kit and Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizers. No more clanking and banging from the trailer going down the road and especially making tight turns.

Great upgrade for my Dexter axle. My old hangers were toast and of much lesser quality. I have about 40,000 miles on the old set.

My small travel trailer had an awful suspension system creak. It was embarassing to drive through a campground. Not only that, that noise must have indicated things were experiencing unusual wear. Since the suspension upgrade, the creak is gone. I had my upgrade installed by a mechanic, but someone reasonably handy could likely do the job themselves.

Delivery was as promised and all parts were there. Great service. Raised 5th wheel 4 3/4 inches so it would be level when hooked up to 2016 Ram 2500.

Good quality, combining these with the wet suspension bolts made for a smooth, quiet, and durable ride on my early 80's equipment trailer.

Easy to install. Saw in one of etrailers videos that this bronze bushing should replace the nylon bushing in the leaf springs we got. The nylon ones pounded out okay and these bronze bushings were a nice, tight fit back in.

They seem too wide for the springs on my 7,000 axle.

excellent quality replacement repair parts at a great price.
