Left to right the EZ Flex Equalizer part # K71-654-00 matches up perfectly as it has a range of 5-1/4 inch to 6-1/4 inch.

The height will be a little bit taller as it sits 5-5/8 which will be 1-1/8 inches taller than what you have.

To compensate for this you can go with a taller shackle so that the spring gets carried at the same height. You would need to measure your current shackles and then check out the link to the page I attached that has all of the shackles we carry. You would want to go with a shackle close to an inch tall than what you have. You will be able to select the lengths of shackles on the filters of the page.

The longest one we offer is part # TRSL350 which is 3-1/2 inches long.
