Installing Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-359-00 on Trailer with 34" Axle Spacing

Published 12/10/2019

Question:

My axles are 34inch center to center. Do you see this being an issue if i use my old equalizers and just tap a zirk fitting in them and use the hardware in the new kit?

For your 34" axle spacing you won't have any issue using just the hardware included with the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-359-00 with your existing equalizers. If you take a look at the install video I attached below, we actually did this same thing on a customer's setup who already had upgraded equalizers from another manufacturer in place.

In addition to the equalizers that won't be needed, this kit includes the needed flange nuts, wet shoulder bolts, bushings, and shackle link assemblies that will provide you with an excellent suspension setup that's easy to maintain.
