Hi, I’ve got a 2015 AML Auto Hauler open trailer with twin 5,200lb Axles. Which kit would you recommend? My shackles are very rusted and noisy. Thank you!

I wasn't able to find any specific information on your 2015 AML Auto Hauler open trailer with tandem 5,200 lbs axles current suspensions. There isn't a database I can look at and tell you exactly what part number you will need. The Lippert Tandem Axle Equa-Flex AP Kit - Wet Bolts - 3-1/8" Long Shackles item # LC64FR are a great option and work with 3,000 lbs - 8,000 lbs equalizers. If you're going to replace the rusty old shackles you should go ahead and put in new equalizers. You will want to measure your current equalizers to confirm which size you need but here are three recommendations and their sizes:

14-5/8" Long: Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers item # LC314336

7-1/2" Long: Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers item # LC145546

5-1/2" Long: Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers item # LC279687

I have linked a diagram that will show you the dimensions of these equalizers so you can match them up with yours.
