Expert Reply:

The Tandem-Axle Equalizer Kit, # AP233, will work as long as all other measurements are the same. Check that your shackle straps are 2-1/4 inches from center hole to center hole. The 5-3/4 inch long equalizer, # TREQ104, we carry is a direct replacement for the 5-5/8 inch long equalizer.
