Expert Reply:

The Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers like # LC279688 are only for use with double eye springs. The Slipper Springs by design will allow the movement that a cushioned equalizer would provide. If you are interested in a more cushioned ride, you would need to either replace your slipper springs with a double eye setup or you would need to replace the suspension with another shock absorbing suspension system like the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 2-3/8" Round Axles - 7,000 lbs # TSR7000T04.
