The equalizers that come with the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-448-00 have bolt holes that measure 6" apart on center and then 4" tall on center as you can see in the attached photo. You'll want to measure your current equalizers to see if they have similar dimensions or not. If they do then this is the kit for you. If they don't then just let me know what your measurements are and I can help you choose the correct replacement suspension kit from the linked selection.

Thank you for the information! Since that is the case you're going to need to go with the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # K71-359-00 instead which measures 2" tall and 5-3/4" wide. These are close enough to your dimensions that this will work great as a replacement.

Hey Shaun, we have the exact replacement for your equalizer with the #TREQ104. But for shackle straps we only have 2-5/8 inch shackles in a non-hd configuration like the part #115052. So what I would go with instead is the Dexter HD equalizer kit…

In order to determine which over/under conversion kit you'll need you will need to verify the capacity of the axles on your 2007 Jayco Jay Flight 31.5 BHDS, and that your springs are already not positioned over the axles. The best way to confirm…
