• How to Find if Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit Will Fit on Trailer
  The equalizers that come with the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-448-00 have bolt holes that measure 6" apart on center and then 4" tall on center as you can see in the attached photo. You'll want to measure your current equalizers to see if they have similar dimensions or not. If they do then this is the kit for you. If they don't then just let me know what your measurements are and I can help you choose the correct replacement suspension kit from the linked selection.

• What is Advantage of Never Fail Tandem Axle Suspension Upgrade Hardware Kit Over Other Options
  The Never Fail upgrade kits like the # LC281285 have two really distinct advantages. One of them is what you mentioned and is that they don't require greasing or any maintenance. The other is that they last about twice as long as any other heavy duty style of bushing kit. You'll get easily twice the mileage from this kit over anything else.

• Replacement Suspension Components for Anvil 8.5 ft by 20 ft Trailer
  Hey Shaun, we have the exact replacement for your equalizer with the # TREQ104. But for shackle straps we only have 2-5/8 inch shackles in a non-hd configuration like the part # 115052. So what I would go with instead is the Dexter HD equalizer kit part # K71-359-00 which comes with everything you are looking for but the HD shackles are a little shorter at 2-1/4 inches. This would not cause any problems though since a slightly shorter shackle strap just ever so slightly changes the suspension...

• Recommended Upgraded Equalizers For A 2021 Grand Design Transcend Xplor Travel Trailer
  Hey James, If you have standard equalizers with a 5-3/4" horizontal and 2" vertical measurement then the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-652-00 would be the correct replacement for you. If you're saying that you already have those and are wanting something else then you can go with the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279687. These have a 5-1/2" horizonal and 2-1/2" vertical measurement so you'll probably have enough slack in the shackle straps to accommodate this difference without...

• Wet Bolt Kit & Equalizers to Replace 5-3/4 Long Equalizers
  The 2-1/4" shackle straps are too short so you'll want to get a similar length. There isn't a kit that includes both wet bolts and the equalizer you have but you can get them separately. You'd just need one wet bolt kit and two (2) of the equalizers for a full set: - Curved Equalizer for 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs - 5-3/4" Long # TREQ104 - MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 3-1/8" Long Shackle Straps # MR76ZR

• Suspension Upgrade Kit With 3-1/8 Inch Shackle Straps For Tandem Axle Trailer
  There is not an option for the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # K71-359-00 with 2-1/4" shackles so you'd have to get equalizers and shackles separately. And the 7/16" nuts are not a typo, that is the size of the bolts at the threaded ends. For the same length equalizer and suspension upgrade kit here's what you need: - MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 3-1/8" Long Shackle Straps # MR76ZR - Curved Equalizer for 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs...

• Replacing Suspension Components On A 2005 Fabrique Boat Trailer
  I can certainly point you in the right direction. I am not able to recommend leaf springs and brackets based on a model of trailer or Vin number. If only it were so easy right? Generally only the manufacturer of the trailer will have that kind of information. When replacing leaf springs we do want the new springs to be basically identical to the old springs. The best way is for your to measure each spring. Double eye leaf springs are measured across from center eye to center eye. It is...

• Can Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit Replace 6-1/4 Inch Long Equalizer
  We don't have an exact match, but based on your dimensions the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-359-00 will still work for your trailer. The 1/2" difference in length and 1/8" difference in height won't be enough to impact the performance of your trailer's suspension. If the equalizer was significantly longer or taller it would be best to swap out the equalizer for one that is a better match, but in this case that will not be necessary.

• Dexter Heavy Duty Equalizer Suspension Kit for Trailer with 34 inch Wheelbase
  Your trailer's wheelbase is a dimension that is compatible with the Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension kit part # K71-359-00 that you referenced so this would be a great option. The equalizers are a little wider than what you have but the shackle length of what comes with this kit would compensate for that.

• Replacement Landing Gear and Equalizers for a 2008 Keystone Cougar 5th Wheel

• Are There 1/2" Wet Bolts for an EZ Loader Boat Trailer
  The standard size of eye bolt for a trailer is 9/16". This is only 1/16" of an larger than what you said you have, 1/2" so there could be an error in measuring or this could also be a very oddball application. That said, if the leaf springs (with bushing removed) have an inner diameter of 11/16" it does not matter what size bolts you have and can upgrade to the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers part # K71-359-00. However, we don't offer 1/2" wet bolts.

• Difference Between Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit K71-448-00 & K71-359-00
  Excellent question, and the difference between the two kits comes down to the dimensions of the equalizers. What you will want to do is match up the size of your equalizer with the size of the equalizer in these kits. - 6" Long, 4" Tall Equalizer: Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-448-00 - 5-3/4" Long, 2" Tall Equalizer: Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-359-00 Both kits are otherwise for use with tandem axle trailers that have 1-3/4" wide double-eye leaf springs.

• Dexter Suspension Kit For Tandem Trailers With Equalizers Measuring 7-3/4, 6, or 5-3/4
  The Dexter suspension kits are high quality and include "wet bolts", bronze bushings instead of nylon and thick shackles. Properly maintained these would likely outlast typical factory kits three times over!

  When you replace or upgrade equalizers on your 2019 Grand Design Imagine 2250RK you want to make sure they have the same or very similar measurements.
