I have a possible solution for you, but unfortunately the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System such as the 5-5/8" Equalizers # K71-652-00, will not work with the Wide Trax suspension on your trailer. The axles on a Wide Trax system are spaced further apart and the required equalizer components are significantly larger than the E-Z Flex Systems.

A much larger equalizer like the 14-5/8" Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers, part # LC314336 may be the correct length. You will want to measure the existing equalizers on your trailer to ensure they are a match. I have included an image showing this product's dimensions.

You will also need the necessary Wet Bolts with Locknut and Grease Zerk # 126B2 for installation of the Equa-Flex System.

I have a Heartland Wilderness travel Trailer it has the Wide Trax suspension with a Dexter 13-142 equalizer. Will the Equa-Flex LC314336 work as a replacement? The axle speed is 42".
