Question:

hi, I have a dual axle boat trailer one set of shackles is worn and has come loose, the set e99ZR looks like it will fit bit I would consider one of the shock absorbing sets or the one with grease zerks but dont see one that would fit for sure, can you help

Expert Reply:

The # e99ZR is designed for 33 inch axle spacing, center axle to center axle. The kit uses 4-1/4 inch tall, 7-3/4 inch long equalizers (measured center hole to center hole). The shackle straps provided are 3-1/8 from center hole to center hole. If that matches your current equalizer/ shackles, the kit would be a fine choice.

The # K71-359-00 Dexter Heavy Duty kit features wet equalizer bolts with the zerk fitting. Keeping the suspension properly lubricated helps extend its life, and is also designed for 33 inch axle spacing.

A Dexter EZ Flex system like # K71-652-00 features zerk fittings for easy maintenance and is also designed for 33 inch axle spacing.

I've provided a demonstration/installation video link for the Dexter EZ Flex. As you'll see in the difference, the EZ Flex equalizers do make quite a difference in ride quality.

If your axle spacing is different, reply with the spacing and the height and side to side hole spacing of your current equalizer, and I'd be happy to make specific recommendations.
