Hi Paul, you’re definitely on the right track here, and I can help you narrow this down with confidence. With your tandem 3,500 lb Dexter axles and 33 inch spacing, both the Dexter EZ Flex part #K71-652-00 and the Lippert Road Armor part #LC53CK are…
You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…
Hi Chas, The Lippert Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer part #LC53CK may work for your trailer, but that will depend on what equalizer is currently on your trailer. In order to determine what equalizers would be a fit for your trailer, we'll…
I would love to help you upgrade the suspension on your Twilight 2800 travel trailer. The MORryde Rubber Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers #MR87ZR that you referenced are a great solution but we do need to double check a few things. First is that…
Hey Ian, great to hear from you again! The differences between the MORryde CRE3000 #MR87ZR and AllTrek 4000 #MR89DR that fit a 33" wheelbase is the height between the hanger and equalizer bolts, and the amount of travel the suspension style will…
Hey Eric. Axle spacing isn't the best way to determine what replacement equalizers you need. The most accurate way to find a replacement is to match up a replacing equalizer as close as possible to the dimensions of the one currently on your…
Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have are…
Yes, axle spread and wheel base by definition are the same measurements. You will measure from the center of one axle to the center of the 2nd axle to determine what you axle spread is. This may be difficult as some wheels and covers will make this…
Hello Lanny, thanks for reaching out. The CRE 3000 is already a pretty good suspension system, but if you want to upgrade, the first thing that comes to mind are the AllTrek 4000 equalizers. They have more rubber than the CRE 3000, 40% more, so you…
The determine the correct replacement leaf spring on your 2021 Coachmen 259FKDS you'll need to lift your trailer frame so the spring is hanging freely and then measure from center-eye to center-eye, then for the equalizer you need to measure…
There is no exact way to determine the leaf spring length. The best way to determine the length for a replacement is by measuring the existing leaf springs. The hanger distance and shackle length can help you get a good idea, but you're looking…
Trailer Suspension Parts: Alignment & Lift Kits, RV Ride Control
Level your rig and fine-tune handling with alignment and lift kits. These mount to spring hangers to lower the suspension's attachment points, add height for clearance, and let you nudge axle position to square it with the frame—helpful for rv ride control. Component needs differ for single, tandem, and triple setups since center hangers use different parts; plan extra time and tools for dual-axle installs.
Yes, alignment brackets can help square axles to the frame and improve straight, level towing. You can center one end and offset the other or adjust both sides as needed. Expect some time to dial in alignment. Check that the kit includes enough brackets for all hangers, and consider wet bolts for lubrication—longer bolts may be required due to added bracket thickness.
Some kits lower the spring attachment point 1-1/4" or 2-1/4". If your springs are under the axle, an over-under conversion can lift around the sum of the axle and spring pack thickness. Confirm the positions available on your kit and whether your axle/spring layout allows the alternative method. Plan time to fine-tune alignment after the lift.
Match the kit to your axle count and the center hanger with the equalizer. For tandem RV Ride Control setups, support the frame and axles with tall stands and jacks, remove wheels on both sides for the second spring, and be ready to disconnect at the equalizer to align parts. Pre-drill for self-tapping screws and chase threads if needed. Verify bolt length with added bracket width.
Sometimes. Certain RV Ride Control equalizers are incompatible with some Alignment and Lift Kits. Check your equalizer type before ordering. If incompatible, options include switching to standard equalizers or using an axle over-under conversion when leaf springs are under the axle. Verify hanger style and bushing requirements so parts match.
