Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers - Double Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 6K to 8K
Looked at another brand, decided I liked the Lippert better. Although it was $[XX] more than where I started I was willing to pay the extra due to it having a variable width and it being heavier built than the product I was looking at. Paula was excellent in assisting me with this product, (4) springs, u bolts, wet blots / shackle kit.
These will be going back. Lippert did a terrible job prepping these for shipment. They showed up with evidence of metallic grinding, dropping, and less than a quality piece. The bubble wrap that was around the pieces wouldn’t protect a Christmas ornament from the dollar tree. Definitely not going on my trailer like this.

Lippert Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade - Tandem Axle
Installed slippers Center Point system on out Alpine 3101RL 5ver. The install is straight foreward if your mechanically inclined. Now about the lack of instructions, nothing shipped from Lippert. etrailer provided a link to help with that. I do prefer printed instructions opposed having to scroll through my phone with dirty hands. The torque specs provided by Lippert don't align with normal torque charts for said fasteners. The banana shackles are very thin and unplated,they are just raw steel. For the cost of the suspension Lippert cound do better on the shackles in this kit. Lippert recommends in stalling the air gauge for the air bags outside,however to gauge is a cheap plastic model. I feel it would have a short life span exposed to the elements. The good now, it seems robust and likly to help absorb road shock. I have not had our 5ver on the road yet. But I will leave more feed back when I have. I purchased this suspension system after finding a broken main leaf on our front tandem. I replaced all of our leaf springs bushings and bolts with the wet bolts Supplied in the kit. FYI Lippert neverfail bushings fail in less than 7k miles. We are not over weight.

Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit - Tandem Axle - Qty 2
Installed these with the Dexter Bronze Bushings and Lippert AP wet bolt kit. No more clanking and banging from the trailer going down the road and especially making tight turns.
I would give these equalizers 5 stars for performance but due to packaging I will drop them to a 4 star. Our trailer tows considerably better after installing these. After a bump, the trailer smooths out without the chucking that I was used to. Packaging wise, the bolts from one equalizer marred the powder coated finish of the other in transit.

Lippert Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade - Triple Axle
The reason for the average rating is the shipping of the parts. E-trailer needs to change how these heavy parts are shipped. A cardboard box doesn't work. You can not depend on UPS or FEDEX to handle shipments with care. They think "Fragile" is a french word for throw and if the box is heavy it will get abused for sure. E-trailer was helpful with getting my parts that were missing from the busted up boxes but it was slow moving. Now as for the parts, ( Not E-trailers fault)The ones that were laser cut needed work so we could get the shoulder bolts through the holes. One of the brackets was welded crooked.I am fortunate since I have a laser and deal with this everyday. I also drew and cut my own gauge plate so I could mount both gauges to one plate. I appreciate all that were involved just hope you make changes to how these parts are shipped. I would recommend wooden crates and LTL shipping. Tested the bags overnight and no leaks. Cant wait to see how my fifth wheelpulls and I hope I dont have screws and trim falling off my walls any longer!!! Ha HA
