Expert Reply:

Dexter components like the Dexter E-Z Flex Equalizers # K71-655-00 you were looking at will work just fine on your Lippert axle, but you will want to make sure that the new equalizer has the same horizontal bolt hole distance as your current equalizers to keep your suspension geometry the same.

The # K71-655-00 is measures 7-3/4" from the center of the horizontal mounting holes, so if that matches your current equalizers this would be a great option.

Regarding the replacement shackle straps, I will need to know the length of your current axle straps to recommend the correct replacements for you, but if your shackle straps are 2-1/4" from center of hole to center of hole, the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-653-00 would be a great option that has everything you need including wet bolts that will take grease like you were wanting.

If you have different length equalizers, or different length shackle straps, just let me know and I would be happy to recommend the correct parts for your trailer.

I included a video of the Dexter # K71-653-00 being installed for you to take a look at.
