I have attached a drawing of a typical triple-axle setup you can check out. I have noted the locations you would install the # LC281288 kit shackles, bolts, sleeves, and nuts. As you can see, one of the equalizers does not use a replacement set of shackles and that is why there are 22 bolts and nuts instead of 24. This kit is designed for use on triple-axle trailers with double-eye leaf springs that have 2 EQ-105 equalizers like part # TREQ105.

If you do not have a suspension setup like this you can reuse the bolts and nuts from your existing setup.

Hey Michael, the leaf spring part #e66SR that you referenced would not work for you as it was designed for a much lighter 2,500 lb axle. So instead you'd want a leaf spring that was designed for 7k axles like the part #TRU52FR which is similar in…

Answer 5

A lot of it depends on the length of the springs and equalizers that are used. When using Leaf Springs #e64SR with the #AP233 Equalizer Kit and the #H248 Hanger Kit, there should be 29-1/2" between the front and center hangers and 29-1/2"…

Answer 6

The most common mistake when replacing a trailer leaf spring is measuring the existing leaf spring while the trailer is loaded (wheels on the ground) and not accounting for the leaf spring lengthening over time. Therefore, it sounds like the new leaf…

Answer 8

Front and rear suspension hangers are not often the same height like this but they can be. If you have the hanger spacing right then what will happen is the center of the spring will be offset a little between the two hangers to compensate some for…

In the image with the suspension setup the equalizer #TREQ105 is placed between the front and second axles. Just like you have on your trailer. The front of the equalizer connects to the spring using a shackle strap and the rear is connected directly…

In order to calculate where the axles would go on your trailer, there are several things that need to be taken into consideration. You will have to mock up the trailer with the suspension and axles to get the weights needed to determine where the…

Answer 12

The best thing to do in this situation, because you have such little clearance, even with an empty trailer, is to replace your equalizers with taller ones. To pick out a compatible replacement equalizer you'll need to measure the distance between…
