Question:
I'm looking to replace the equalizer and shackles on my 2015 Keystone 332TS Raptor. My current equalizer measures 6inch horizontally from bolt hole to bolt hole. Will part number K71-653-00 work with my trailer? I'm also looking to replace the shackles with a stronger shackle. Do you have a recommendation for those as well? Thank you

Expert Reply:
When choosing upgraded equalizers for your trailer it is important to pick one that is the same size or as close as possible to your current equalizers. Since you found that the equalizer you have now is 6" horizontally from bolt hole to bolt hole I would not recommend the # K71-653-00 which is 7-11/16" long.
Instead, I recommend the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit - Tandem Axle - Qty 2 # LC696740. These measure 6" across and will be the best replacement option. For shackles and wet bolts I recommend the MORryde kit. You will need to measure the length of your current shackles to find the correct fit. If you have 2-1/4" long shackle straps you need the # MR46ZR and for 3-1/8" you need the # MR76ZR.
I have attached some review and installation videos for your reference.
