Expert Reply:

It appears that your 2006 Keystone Raptor 3612 5th Wheel Toy Hauler has an axle spacing of 33" and uses the 5-3/4" wide short equalizer. I do recommend confirming this as if the suspension has been modified in the last 16 years by a previous owner you will need to know this to ensure proper fitment.

My recommended kit is the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-656-00. This kit includes all the replacement equalizers, wet bolts and shackles to upgrade your suspension. I prefer the Dexter kit as its open design allows you to easily see if any debris gets into the equalizer.

There is also the MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers # MR59ZR which will require the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit # MR86ZR. And the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC281314 which will also require a Suspension Upgrade Kit # MR86ZR for the wet bolts.

I recommend the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390 for filling the wet bolts as well as greasing the pivot points on the Equalizers. This grease is specifically designed for high stress and high wear applications like your Raptor.
