Video Transcript for Dexter E-Z Flex Equalizer Kit Review
Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the replacement 5 5/8 inch equalizers for the Dexter Axle E-Z Flex Heavy-Duty Rubber Suspension System. Now, these parts here will replace a damaged or worn out rubber equalizer on your Dexter E-Z Flex Heavy-Duty Rubber Suspension System. That system we do sell separately on our website, and it's part number K71-652-00. As you can see, this is for a quantity of two replacement equalizers, the bolts, the nuts, and some grease packets. Now, the rubber cores on these will isolate and absorb any damage and road shocks before they hit the trailer frame and the contents.
If you noticed on the very top of these, there's two grease zerk fittings that allow for easy lubrication of your bolt through here, you just attach your grease gun to there and pump the grease in there. And these are very easy installation, there's no welding, cutting, or grinding required. Capacity again, this is for tandem axle applications up to 6,000 pound axles with 33 inch spacing. This does replace the Dexter standard equalizer, which is part number 13-104, and just to give you a few measurements on these, if we take our ruler and if we measure from the center of this bolt eye to the center of the other one is about 5 5/8 inches, and it does have a range, since there's a rubber insert in there, it'll allow this to have a range of a minimum from 5 1/4 inches up to 6 1/4 inches. And then the last measurement, we're gonna measure from this center of this top bolt hole to the center of these two lower bolt holes, so if we do go on that, you can see it's gonna be right at about two inches.
But that should do it for the review on the replacement 5 5/8 inch equalizers for your Dexter Axle E-Z Flex Heavy-Duty Rubber Suspension System..

Pleasantly surprised that you shipped the red equalizers instead of the standard ones ordered. Gives it a sexy look...LOL

Great company to work with. They provide plenty of detailed information so you have a high-degree of confidence when researching and placing your order.

I’m totally satisfied with these equalizers. I installed these and a set of Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers to my travel trailer because I was worried that something was going to get broken on my trailer because of the harsh ride it was going through on the rough roads we drive on. I knew the ride was harsh when I was opening the trailer door and finding everything that wasn’t attached turned upside down or on the opposite end of the trailer and some attached items torn loose. On one trip the fire extinguisher screws came out of the wall, another trip the screws holding the dinette seat back to the wall came out, and also the smoke detector came off of the ceiling and was lying in the floor. I knew I had to do something to help the ride. I ordered these parts from Etrailer and installed them and I was amazed at how well they worked. On our next trip I opened the door on the trailer and everything was still in its place, I could hardly believe it, what a difference. As an added bonus these parts took away the little bit of sway the trailer had. The sway when a tractor trailer rig passed us is completely gone now. It pulls so good now that I forget it is back there sometimes. I highly recommend this to anyone with a bumper pull travel trailer.

I put these on my tandem axle boat trailer, they arrived in 3 days and appear to be very good quality. The 5 year warranty tells me I shouldn't have any issues.
by: Michael O08/03/2015
Pending road test, but seem to be very good quality and it is nice they are can be greased for longer life. On my application I went from a 4" high equalizer high link to this (2" high), but welded an extension on the trailer frame to maintain the prior spring/suspension geometry, but I don't think it is required, I primarily did this as my other frame upgrades would have interfered with the grease fittings, so the 2" extensions gave needed clearance in my application.
by: Matt 10/07/2023
Install when according to plan. Fairly straightforward.
by: Tom C06/12/2019
They are doing well for us. Only issue was after installation and a trip when I went to grease the pivot points, one of the zero fittings came off. Looks like the hole was never tapped completely. Just a few threads in the beginning. I ran a tap in it and installed a new zero fitting. This would have much easier before installation.
by: Dan 09/03/2022
Easy install and makes the trailer ride noticeably smoother.
by: Wendy L.08/07/2019
They were easy to install, and have worked like a charm. We would recommend these to anyone looking!

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Suspension Parts
- Compatibility Of Dexter E-Z Flex Equalizers On Trailer With Tandem 2800LB AxlesYes, the Replacement 5-5/8" Equalizers for E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System # K71-654-00 will work for your trailer since the dimensions match with your current equalizers. These will work with axles up to 6,000lbs. I believe the kit you are looking for is Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-652-00 as this contains all the wet bolts, shackle straps, equalizers and bronze bushings needed to upgrade your equalizers.

- Best Cushioned Equalizer Replacement for Equalizer that is 6 inches WideThe absolute best cushioned equalizer that fits the dimensions you mentioned having would be the MORryde ALLTREK 4000 part # MR89DR as this is only option to provide vertical and horizontal cushioning. This would make a big difference and you'd be really happy with it. Then for an HD upgraded shackle kit that comes with brass bushings and wet bolts you'd also want the part # MR46ZR.
view full answer... - Recommended Equalizer Upgrade For 2016 Winnebago 2351DKS W/ 5-1/2" Long EqualizersI would be happy to help! Since the horizontal mounting hole measurement of the equalizers on your 2016 Winnebago 2351DKS is 5-1/2" there are a few different equalizer upgrade options. To determine which one will be best for you, you will need to measure from the center line of the horizontal mounting holes to the center of the upper mounting hole which will tell you how tall your equalizer is. The Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalier # LC696740 you were looking at is a great option that...

- Replacement Suspension Components For A 2020 Grand Design Reflection 337RLS Fifth Wheel Trailer The etrailer 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles # e34SR most likely would be the correct choice for your 2020 Grand Design Reflection 337RLS, but you'll want to confirm by measuring from the center of one eyelet to the center of the other eyelet. You'll want to lift the trailer and let the axles hang down to get an accurate measurement. The # e34SR has a 25-1/4" eyelet to eyelet measurement. For the wet bolts and shackle straps you'd need the MORryde Suspension Upgrade...
view full answer... - Correct Replacement E-Z Flex Suspension System for a 1996 Holiday RamblerThe equalizers in the kits # K71-652-00 and # K71-654-00 that you referenced are actually the exact same. The only difference between these kits is that the 652 comes with replacement shackle straps while the 654 only comes with the equalizers and no shackle straps. So to choose between the 2 is just a matter of your shackles being in good shape or not. Even though your axle spacing is 32" as opposed to 33" I think you'll still be okay with this kit. Basically you just want to make sure...

- Can Dexter E-Z Flex Equalizers K71-654-00 Be Used To Replace Equalizers On 2003 Jayco Designer 31RLSThere is a way to allow you to replace the factory cast equalizer on your 2003 Jayco Designer 31RLS 5th wheel trailer with the Dexter E-Z Flex Equalizers. Since your current equalizers are just over 6-1/4" long you will need to use longer shackle straps to make up the difference as the # K71-654-00 only work with equalizers up to 6-1/4" long. Since you mentioned your factory shackles are 2-3/8" long you can replace them with the 2-3/4" long # TRSL275 which will put you in the useable...
view full answer... - How to Determine Which Over Under Axle Kit Would Be NeededThe diameter of your trailer axle will determine the size of the parts that you will need to order. If your axle is 3 inches diameter, the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit, # K71-385-00, would be a great choice and if your axle is 2-3/8 inch diameter you could use the Over-Under Kit, # K71-384-00. These kits can be installed without welding but the manufacturer strongly recommends having the new spring seat tacked in place on the other side of the trailer axle. Some refer...
view full answer... - How to Determine if E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System Will FitThe Replacement 5-5/8" Equalizers for E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System # K71-654-00 you referenced are simply replacements for the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System by Dexter Axle - 5-5/8" Equalizers # K71-652-00. To determine if these will fit your 5,200 lb axle you need to know what equalizer you currently have. The reason is this suspension system is designed to be a replacement for standard equalizers which are 5-5/8" long from center to center of their bolt...
view full answer... - Choosing the Right Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension for Replacing Standard Equalizers You shouldn't loose any wheel clearance with the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit. First you will want to see which of the Equalizers you need. There is a 6,000lb Equalizers # K71-654-00 (5-5/8") and 8,000lb Equalizers # K71-655-00 (7-3/4"). The 6,000lb is for hubs spread 33" on center and 8,000lb for hubs 35" on center. If you choose either the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension 6,000lb Kit # K71-652-00 or 8,000lb Kit # K71-653-00 they will include 2-1/4" shackle straps. If your current shackle...
view full answer... - Dexter Axle Easy Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension Equalizers With Longer Shackle Straps The E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System by Dexter Axle part # K71-652-00 does have 2-1/4" shackles so it would raise your suspension system up a bit if you use the shorter shackles. However, you can use the Dexter Axle Equalizers part # K71-654-00 and 3-1/2" Long shackle straps part # TRSL350 to make sure you are not raising your suspension.

It is okay to move your outside hangers to give you more space but there are standard spaces that work well for tandem axle trailers that you will want to stick to. If you want 35 inch axle spacing, then you will move the hangers and use kit # K71-653-00 which has wider equalizers to make up for the larger spacing....

These equalizers require special shackle straps that are available in the kit which is what you would need. The kit is # K71-652-00. It comes with all the parts needed to upgrade the equalizers to a Dexter E-Z Flex system. Whether or not your axles are underrated for the trailer I cannot say for sure. There are several different 2004 Gulf Stream Ameri-Lite models, both 5th wheels and travel trailers, so if you can...

If you want to use wet bolts, you can upgrade your bolts to # 126B2 for easy maintenance.

- Piecing Together an E-Z Flex Equalizer System with 3 Inch Shackle StrapsDexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit # K71-358-00 is exactly what you need though on a tandem axle you would need 2 sets. E-Z Flex System # K71-652-00 does not use wet bolts to hang the equalizer part. It has grease fittings on top for that so you can just use a regular bolt. So you would use # K71-654-00 for the equalizers by themselves, 2 of kit # K71-358-00, and either reuse the hanger bolts you have or use 2 of # TRFA73Z916DLNZ or a similar bolt.

The squeaking noises from trailer suspension can be reduced by replacing standard shackle bolts with wet bolts. Wet bolts like # TRFA71063 and # 126B2 have a grease zerk fitting that allows you to maintain a layer of grease between the surfaces of those...

Since your equalizers measure 5-3/4" center to center of the horizontal mounting holes you can use the Dexter E-Z Flex Equalizers # K71-654-00 as a replacement.

These are the same width as the existing equalizers so you can reuse your old hardware and shackle straps. Please note, there are bronze bushings inside the Dexter E-Z Flex Equalizers so you'll want to make sure you use wet bolts with these bronze bushings, the Wet Equalizer Bolt part # 126B2.

view full answer... - How Often Should Dexter EZ-Flex Equalizers Get GreasedI spoke to my contact at Dexter and he informed me that they recommend greasing the E-Z Flex equalizers every three months or 3,000 miles. I also attached a pretty helpful guide to how often trailer components should be maintained. For grease Dexter recommends wheel bearing grease. For that we recommend the red grease part # L11390. A shock kit would help your trailer and would work well with the EZ Flex system but since you said you have square axles we don't have a kit for that. The...

- Is there a Lifespan for the Rubber Bushings in E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension SystemsLike most things, the longevity of the rubber bushings in the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System depends on numerous factors including, but not limited to, how much the trailer is used and the weather conditions. But they should last a very long time in most situations if not the entire life of the trailer. If you can compress the bushings by hand then they are worn out and should be replaced. Severe dry rot is also something to check for. It would have to be really bad dry rot...
