Question:
I cannot seem to get any Help? I have looked through a million options as to purchasing a Moryde or Dexter type Shackle Hanger Upgrade kit for my Apex. However my axles measure 31 inches center to center - NOT 33 nor 35 So I am confused as to If or Which Kit I could possibly go with. 1 For sure as a minimum - I need to get the wet bolts and Shackle Upgrades - my leaf springs are 1 3/4 inches wide, my current shackles are 3 1/2 inches long. NOW FOR THE HANGER 3 Again mine measures a total of 6 inches long Help in need of guidance to purchase the correct Kit

For your 2018 Coachman Apex I recommend using the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-652-00. This kit will work with your 31" wheel center as it uses the same dimension equalizer that you have. You also receive new bronze bushings for your leaf springs with the wet bolts/shackles that are included with this kit.
I recommend using LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390 to lubricate your wet bolts and Dexter equalizer. This grease will adhere to the parts ensuring they stay lubricated and withstand the extreme pressures and heat that is generated by the suspension components.
