Helpful Expert Reply:

You could use the Dexter E-Z Flex # K71-652-00 tandem axle suspension upgrade kit for 6K axles or # K71-653-00 for 8K axles.

If you used the # K71-652-00, you'd need an equalizer hanger about 2 inches longer to make up that height difference and not throw off your suspension geometry. Or, you could use a shock absorbing equalizer that has the same approximate height as your existing equalizer like the Lippert Road Armor, part # LC696740 which is good for 3500-8000 lb axles, which wouldn't require changing the center hanger height.

If you went with the # K71-653-00, you'd need a hanger that's about 1 inch taller.

I've linked to our selection of spring/equalizer hangers as well as to some videos you might find helpful.
