Question:
I’m looking to upgrade the equalizers on my 2014 Keystone Raptor 5th wheel model RP300. Currently the suspension system is stock with 8K tandem axles spaced 35” apart on centre. The 5th wheel is 35’ ft long with a GVWR of 16,500lbs. I’m trying to decide between the Dexter EZ-Flex system or the Lippert Road Armour but am open to suggestions. I’d also like to go with an upgraded wet bolt shackle kit. The current stock shackles are 4-1/4” long end to end. If you could please provide some recommendations. Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
From the measurements you provided, the Lippert Road Armor # LC696740 is going to be the better option. You will also need the # LC64FR to complete it. This will include wet bolts and all shackles, but they will be a little shorter at 3 1/8 inches.
