First, thank you for that detailed info it was very helpful, and there is a really nice upgrade for your Cardinal 362BH that has the Curved Equalizer # TREQ356. The best upgrade for your rig is going to be a combination of rubber equalizers and heavy-duty mounting hardware from MORryde:

- MORryde Rubber Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers # MR87ZR

- MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 3-1/8" Long Shackle Straps # MR76ZR

The reason to go with the longer shackle straps than your current 2-1/4" is because the # MR87ZR equalizers are taller than your EQ356, so the longer shackle straps will help your trailer keep its ride height.

As for the upgrade itself, the reason I recommend the MORryde is because of how much they are going to improve your ride compared to other options. These equalizers give you a full 3" of suspension travel which means when you are towing the ride is going to be considerably smoother and more controlled.

Then for the suspension upgrade kit, this gives you 1/2" shackle straps that are far more durable than standard shackle straps so you won't have to deal with them breaking. The kit also has wet bolts that are much easier to maintain than standard bolts.
