Question:

I have a 2006 laredo 29rk fifthwheel. The owners book shows 2 alko axles @ 5000# each. Springs are 1.75inch wide.Am I thinking right ,the 652 should work? Was hoping the 6000# cap. was not per side Thanks

The E-Z Flex Suspension Kit, # K71-652-00, will work on trailers that have axles rated up to 6,000 lbs each. Your 5,000 lb axles fall within the capacity of these equalizers so the weight would not be an issue. These equalizers are also compatible with your 1-3/4 inch leaf springs, but you will want to make sure they are a compatible replacement for your current equalizers.

The E-Z Flex equalizers were designed to replace the standard Dexter equalizers # 13-104. This number should be stamped on your equalizers. If you cannot find a stamped number or you have a different brand equalizer, then you will want to take a few measurements to verify that the E-Z Flex equalizers will fit.

The axle spacing on your trailer must be 33 inches center axle to center axle. The distance between the lower bolt holes on center flexes between 5-1/4 inches and 6-1/4 inches. The bolt hole diameters are 9/16 of an inch.

I have attached a photo showing the measurements of the E-Z Flex equalizers for you to compare to your current equalizers.
