Question:
Hello, I have a 7000LB Tandem axle trailer with 33inch Axle spacing and a 7 3/4inch equalizer. Which kit would work with my setup, K71-449-00, with 7 3/4inch equalizer but for 35inch axle spacing or kit K71-359-00 with 33inch axle spacing but a 5 3/4inch equalizer?

Expert Reply:
You will want the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-449-00 as it matches the 7-3/4" equalizer size your trailer currently has. The 33" and 35" axle spacing is a general guide but it is best to replace based off the size of your current equalizer.
We also have the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-653-00 that will fit if you would like to upgrade to a cushioned equalizer. The cushion helps to absorb road shock and will reduce trailer chucking.
I recommend using the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390 with the Grease Gun # L30416 on the wet bolts. This grease is specifically formulated to work under extreme pressure in both hot and cold climates.
