I would be happy to help!
Since the horizontal mounting hole measurement of the equalizers on your 2016 Winnebago 2351DKS is 5-1/2" there are a few different equalizer upgrade options.
To determine which one will be best for you, you will need to measure from the center line of the horizontal mounting holes to the center of the upper mounting hole which will tell you how tall your equalizer is.
The Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalier # LC696740 you were looking at is a great option that will be slightly larger as it measures 6" between the center of the horizontal mounting holes, 3-1/2" from the center line of the horizontal mounting holes to the center of the upper mounting hole, and 7-1/4" overall. As long as your current equalizer is 3-1/2" or taller then this would be my recommendation for you.
If you find that your equalizer is shorter then I recommend going with the Dexter E-Z Flex # K71-654-00 which is 5-5/8" long so it is the perfect length, but is 2" tall making it a much shorter equalizer.
In regards to the replacement shackle straps, you will need to measure your current shackles from center to center of the mounting holes. Based on the equalizer size you have I would guess you have 2-5/8" shackle straps and would want to use the # 115052 as a replacement. If you find your shackle straps are a different size just let me know.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
