Equalizer for 2" Wide Slipper Springs - 12" Long - 7/8" Center Hole - Zinc Plated
The products I received were exceptional. First class and top of the line. But I had to ship them back. Was my own fault. I ordered the wrong size. . Even the process to order them and receiving them was a pleasure. Never had such and easy experience before when ordering products on line or on phone. Even shipping it back had me blown away at how easy. The sales rep, Lori, is ver profession and knowledgeable and very polite and courteous. Was a joy to deal with. Wish all companies were modeled like y’all’s.
Easy to install about 10 min start to finish. About 45 min to replace 4 thanks E trailer.

Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers - 1-3/4" Wide Double Eye Springs - 2-1/4" Links
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!!
After all of the bad weather I was able to finish installing my new suspension system on my 1992 Lance Fifth Wheel. The task was much easier than I had anticipated. The instructional video you provide access to were a big help. Other than having to grind off a nut or two I had no difficulties (See attached photos). The 'list' that had developed on the fifth wheel is now resolved, and towing has already proven to be better.

CE Smith Front Hanger Bracket for Trailer Slipper Springs - Galvanized Steel - Bolt On - Qty 1
I used these 'front' brackets for both front and rear ends of my leaf springs, because I couldn't find a bolt-on rear bracket. I had to bend 1/4" offsets into each of my rear shackles to make the rear brackets work. I added a spacer between my shackles to keep them perpendicular. The original rear clip was 1-3/4" wide on the outside and the shackles were outside the clips. I used 3/8" bolts to attach the brackets to my 3"x1-1/2" steel tube trailer frame. The bracket mounting tabs are drilled for 7/16" bolts, and I would have preferred to use 7/16" bolts, but I couldn't find that size at my local hardware stores. I moved my axle forward to rebalance my boat trailer, because I put a smaller engine on which made tongue weight way too heavy. I went with bolt-on brackets because I could do it myself (I don't have welding equipment). Overall, I'm satsified.
Good quick service and reasonable pricing

Front/Rear Hanger for Double-Eye Springs - 1-5/16" Tall - 9/16" Bolt Hole
Just as good as the ones from the big box stores but way cheaper.
This is a multiple product review. The long bracket are good. The shorter brackets are of the same good quality. The issue is using the short brackets with the shackles. The shorter brackets could be narrower so the shackle line up better with spring and other longer bracket. We used washers to make it align better. The greasing bolts are good, but could be longer. so we could only use 2 of the 6 and had to use normal grade 8 bolts.

Front Hanger for 2" Wide Slipper Springs - 5" Tall - 9/16" Bolt Hole
Worked as it should. New hangers, and a new axle and back on the road.
Website was easy to navigate and price was great. Parts are exactly what I needed to repair an older trailer that gets pulled several times a week

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.

Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 3" Round Axles - 14,000 lbs
Been great so far..fabbed removable axle system with the timbrens
Seems like a great product and service was excellent. UPS lost one of the three parts and was a week long in delivering it, and then said that it was because it was packaged poorly from etrailer. I used a 4x6 steel rectangular tube spacer to get my trailer back up to the original height. Seemed pretty straight forward, but it would be nice if the system could be designed so the user doesn't have to cut the mounting brackets off the axle and re-attach the Timbren brackets.

Dexter Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 38" Axle Spacing
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.

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

Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle - 3-1/8" Lift
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.

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 - 6,000 lbs
Great price. Easy install. The trailer is quiet when the suspension is articulating around tight turns and going over speed bumps. And peace of mind knowing the worn out bushings are gone.
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.

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.

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.
What our customers are saying:
"The sales associate I spoke with was very, very helpful. I know very little about cars/trucks and, in my opinion, he went above and beyond to help me determine what I needed to buy! Thank-you so much for your help and especially for your speedy shipment! : I will definitely buy from this company again."
