Helpful Expert Reply:
Since the equalizer height changed by an inch, in order for your suspension to function as designed, you'll need to add 1 inch taller spring hangers to make up for the height difference. Failure to even out that height difference can result in poor ride quality, trailer sway and uneven tire wear.
