Question:

On 2020 Jayco Jay Feather. 33inch center to center on axle 2.5 inches center to center on shackle bolt 3.5 inches length of shackle best as I can tell 5.75 inch equalizer That all being said these are 3,500 pound Dexter axles and wanting to change to a Road Armor and wet bolt kit to make our towing easier so just wondering and want to reaffirm before I order is it the LCI number of LC696740 for the Road Armor and the wet bolt kit that you suggest is the Dexter part number K71-359-00 or does LCI make one to use.

Expert Reply:

From the measurements you provided, the Lippert Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 looks like it will be a great option for your 2020 Jayco Jay Feather. This enhances your trailer's ride by absorbing and dampening road shock and will making towing a lot easier and nicer.

As to the bolt kit, you do have a couple options available. First will be the Lippert Tandem Axle Equa-Flex AP Kit - Wet Bolts - 3-1/8" Long Shackles # LC64FR. This will include everything needed to get your current bolts and shackles all swapped out. However, this will just have standard shackles, so if you wanted something more heavy duty, you could go with qty.2 of the Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit # K71-358-00 and qty.2 of the Step Wet Bolt # 34007-187-00 and Nut # 1137306 to complete the kit.
