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.

Answer 5

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…

Answer 10

How long are you current equalizers? If the are 6-3/4 inch like the TREQ105 then there would be no need to move the hanger spacings. Most likely your hangers are spaced 7-3/4 inches based on the length of your springs and the current hanger spacings.…

Equalizer bolts, like the TruRyde Wet Equalizer Bolt, #TRFA71063, should be torqued to yield. Equalizer bolts are not given a specific torque rating because they should allow some movement of the equalizer. If they are torqued down too tight, the…

Answer 12

When replacing equalizer bolts and shackle bolts you will not use a specific torque rating for tightening the bolts. The first thing you should make sure of is that the bolts you use are long enough so that when installed you will have at least 2…
