Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit
The lift worked out perfectly,I had the place where I bought the trailer install them because I didn't have a welder to weld the saddle mounts to the axle and that's a must for a safe installation,also I had the place where I bought the trailer do it because they had the capability to align the axle perfect to the trailer after the installation. The lift added approximately 5 inches to the trailer hight so I could install the off road wheels and tires.The lift didn't affect the handling of the trailer at all.
Jaime at ETrailer was extremely helpful and got my order sent up ups ground since I was having issues using a P.O. Box. My parts arrived quickly and fit perfectly. I installed them last week and my trailer looks so much better and won’t be scraping on my driveway anymore!

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.
Just installed the lippert center point and I have to say very impressed on how well it’s built. Super easy to install and I can’t wait to take it down these California roads and see how much better it rides. Installed on a 2022 jayco eagle Ht 29.5 BHDS

U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 7-1/16" Long U-Bolts
Ordered a lot of parts for a dump trailer rebuild in Sept. Didn't install some of the final parts until Christmas break. THEY SENT COARSE THREAD NUTS INSTEAD OF FINE. I ruined 2 u-bolts and need all 16 fine thread nuts. I'm outside 60 days so I was told I'm on my own. I've spent $5k+ on etrailer. I'll find some place else.......
Axels are a perfect fit for my trailer and are working great.

Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers - Tandem 7K Trailer Axles
Install wasn’t bad. Grand design welds a V bracket inside the spring hangers for more strength so that was my only challenge on install. This caused a problem on the center hanger as the spacer wouldn’t fit. Had to grind about a quarter inch off the spacer so it would fit as I could only bend the bottom of the hangers so much. Will be towing about 100 miles this weekend so it will be nice to hopefully not have broken drawers in the back of the trailer as well as shelves in the fridge door dislodged. I also did the X factor cross braces on the front and rear hangers for more strength. Will post back after we get more miles on it, but given all the other positive reviews I don’t think I’ll be unhappy.
The suspension system is amazing! It feels like the 5th wheel is riding on coil springs. The shock absorbers make such a noticeable difference; why these aren't installed at the factory will forever puzzle me. Installation was straight forward. The length and quality of current U-bolts allowed for reuse. I was skeptical about the fasteners, until the first one was torqued to specs...it was soon apparent that the provided hardware was more than adequate for the job. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this system again, and I promote it as often as possible. Thank you, and all the etrailer staff!

Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 3" Round Axles - 7,000 lbs
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.

Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long
Just what needed for my trailer. My old leaf springs were so rusted that I was one pot hole away from being broken down on the side of the road. These new ones are perfect.
When I asked questions about my order they answered back quickly. Everything fit like it should. Yes time will tell if the springs are good.

Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit - Double-Eye Springs - Triple Axle - 6,000 lbs
etrailer support staff gets 5 stars. However... The kit I received was incomplete. Bushings were missing, two shackle links and a shackle link assembly were missing. Additionally, one of the shackle link assemblies would not accept its' mating link - the bolt shafts were spread apart. one of the equalizer assemblies did not have that gold anodize coating, another had incomplete anodize coating. see pic. etrailer staff shipped me the bushings and the shackle link assemblies to complete my project. As for the finish, POR 15 gloss black is a lovely color. The issue here is with Dexter, not etrailer
Parts paint was chipped off on most of the corners/ sides. Also one one the measurement they have listed online is not accurate to one of the equalizers

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.

SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket - Single Axle - 5K to 8K - Overslung
Very easy to install plan taking big trip in a few months can’t wait to see how they handle. Update to follow.
Only 4 stars since I have only used them on one RV trip so far. I installed these in conjunction with an equalizer upgrade (Morryde SRE 4000) on my 2019 Grand Design Reflection TT. For the one trip I have been on, I liked how these helped cushion the ride of the trailer. I would certainly buy them again.

Wet Equalizer Bolt with Locknut and Grease Zerk for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long
My manufactured trailer did not have this type with a grease fitting. They wore out the bushing in no time. I really like the design and ability to lubricate the bushing.
About a year ago, I replaced my leaf springs, dry shackles with wet shackles, upgraded the bushings to brass, and I also installed sumo springs on the trailer,the trailer is very stable on the road, neither wind or semi trucks push the trailer, not that they ever really did but these sumo Springs made it much better. All the plates and things that were loose in the trailer no longer bounce around and are found on the floor at the end of a trip.

Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit - Double-Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 6,000 lbs
Customer service, response, shipping and ease of doing business are all top of class. The product is solid but kudos to the eTrailer staff for helping me out with a quality issue with one of the shackle assemblies. eTrailer has earned all my future business. It's great piece of mind to know they stand behind the products they sell.
Nice kit, red looks cool. Seems a little better than the one on Amazon though it is also supposed to be Dexter. There are a number of decent install videos but none of them show how tricky this upgrade can be. More guidance on proper setup and dealing with stubborn bolts would be nice. For, example none of the videos actually show how tough it can be to seat the bolts completely, that takes some serious work with a small sledgehammer and deep socket Dexter as a company is a bit of a disappointment. There are two different actual Dexter locations in my town and neither carried this kit or spare parts for it. Thank you etrailer for carrying spare parts and being more knowledgeable than the actual OEM. I believe the spare bolt/nut I ended up needing was actually a Lippert part but worked just fine. All in all, very happy with upgrade and etrailer.

Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit
Our trailer was so low...that it could not make it up a low curb and some driveways - especially when fully loaded. Went with the Dexter axle flip kit. The Dexter bracket and base plate pieces are worth the extra $20-$30 compared to other similar kits - they make fitment easier, eliminate any guesswork on placement, and decrease installation time because of it. Took 2-3 relaxed pace hours for us to do single axle install. Tools required were ratchet/wrench set (13/16 deep socket worked for us for most of the bolts), cheater bar (for working those rusty bolts off), drill, angle grinder (cutter disc for oem u-bolts and leaf spring bolts that are rusted or welded in place, stripper disc for cleaning area around new bracket for welding) welder, floor jack and jack stands. We had to remove the leaf springs, as the wheel mount brackets would not fit through the openings. Was hoping we wouldn’t have to, but it was pretty simple to do. We jacked the trailer up. Removed the wheels. Removed the axle. Cleaned the axle area where new brackets go. Set the height and placement of the new Dexter brackets. We left the OEM brackets on the axle and placed the Dexter ones in the exact same position 180 degrees on the other side. Welded them on. Reinstalled leaf springs. Reinstalled axle, reinstalled wheels. Then voila! We added 6 full inches of height. Super awesome.
One order gets you the kit for only one axle, and realized this after my order arrived for my project on a two axle trailer. Seems obvious now but that wasn’t labeled & pictures were deceiving as I saw two axle trailers advertised. Hardware all seems to be in good shape but packaging quality is poor. Before opening my package I could see into my box with loose hardware rolling around. Thankfully no nuts fell out during shipping. In the future please tape around all seams or place in more secure packaging.

SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket - Single Axle - 3K to 5K - Overslung
I made some brackets to bolt to the frame. Now I have 100% contact with the Sumo Springs. The are working extremely well!
Easy install. It took me approximately 3 hours for the entire project. That's cleaning a few things up also. I did not notice much difference in "body roll". Honestly,, I never had much before. Now, anytime going over rougher roads, railroad tracks, etc.... That was a big difference. It took a lot of that movement out. I hardly knew the trailer was going over it. I installed these on a 5th wheel.

Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb Axle
Installed a year ago, I made a drilling template to help locate the frame mounting bracket screw holes. Installed a set on (2) fivers, spent average of 2.5 hours for total installation per fiver. Helped the ride of the trailer. Would certainly recommend the shock kit.
This is a great kit! Everything needed is included. Be sure to purchase the heavy duty wet bolt kit for the shackles.

Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit - Double-Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 8,000 lbs
We broke down on a Saturday near Cincinnati and couldn't find any parts, so I called etrailer and luckily they had a wet bolt kit in stock. They shipped it next day, which means business day, next day, aka Tuesday " thanks UPS ". I had the kit installed by a mobile mechanic and I was back on the road by 3:30pm.
Had to replace the axles and decided while there, just do the whole suspension too. Got the axles directly from Dexter but purchased the suspension kit from etrailer. Replacing the equalizer was the easiest part of this project and if I didn't have to replace the axles, probably would have had it done in under 2 hours. Time will tell how well it rides and the tires wear.

U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 5-1/2" Long U-Bolts
These did not fit my 3500 lb axle. It has been very difficult determining the correct size U-Bolts for my axle. It appears etrailer does not carry the size I need.
It is exactly as described. It seems solid. I also ordered the springs, and they appear to be solid as well. I look forward to continuing to do business with etrailer due to quality parts AND great customer service from the likes of Shawnee and the crew. Thank you!!!

Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle - 2-7/8" Lift
I think the lift kit is a very stout piece of hardware. I'll be installing it on Friday on an Airstream camper. Will give an update on how well it fits after the install. I gave 4 stars because the packaging could be better - almost lost some bolts or nuts. The delivery person had to tape it all up - must have fallen in travel and busted open.
I ordered this kit in mid-May after seeing an email about it from a competitor site to etrailer.com. I ordered from the other site then got an email stating that the kit was on back order from Dexter until the end of June. I googled the Dexter part number and found that etrailer.com also sold it, and even better, etrailer was offering free freight and a slightly lower cost. Since the kit is heavy, free freight would save me about $40, so I cancelled the order with the first company and re-ordered from etrailer.com. I got an email from them as well about the extended back order but then, I also got a follow up call from them explaining the situation. The call was an extra added touch that I appreciated. Then, right at the end of May, I got an email stating that my Dexter kit had shipped, so I figured that etrailer.com must have put some pressure on Dexter to get off their butt and ship it! The kit itself was great, really well made parts, powder coated and heavy gauge. Honestly, I am surprised that they sell it for only $150. The install is tricky and will take you 6 hours if you are good with tools and like wrenching. Don't attempt this project on your own if you are not. Pay a trailer guy $400 to do it. You have to keep the axles aligned when you drop them...and the bolt placement is not great so you have to have hands that can fit in the tight cramped space and be able to get a wrench on the. Over all, I am very happy with the lift, it was a pretty simple and cost effective way for me to get better clearance for my Airtsream.....Airstreams are notoriously low and with the approach I have from my street to the driveway, I constantly battled dragging either the hitch or the rear. This kit solved that. I am super satisfied and highly recommend it if you are in the same situation as I was. Buy it from etrailer.com, they have the best customer service I have experienced when buying trailer and camping items on the internet.

Nylon Bushing - 9/16" Inner Diameter, 11/16" Outer Diameter - 1-3/4" Long
Excellent service and quick delivery and great price, all looks good, thanks for helping me out with these items that I can't find around my area anymore,AES
Bushings quiet the trailer for a short period of time. Bushings wear out and squeaks return quicker than I expected.
What our customers are saying:
"Very helpful/friendly Customer Service. Competitive Pricing. Shipping was Fast."
