We do have an equalizer upgrade kit for your Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf with 33 inch wheelbase and equalizers that are 2" tall. They are the E-Z Flex and will not lower the trailer whatsoever and will give you the more comfortable ride you are looking for. The correct part number is the following:

- Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit - Double-Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 6,000 lbs # K71-652-00

The E-Z Flex # K71-652-00 measures 2" from the top bolt to the middle of the equalizer, so it is the same height as yours, fits 33" axle spacing, and comes with 2-1/4" shackle straps, along with the wet bolts you are looking for.

Hey Joe! Are these the leaf springs that came with your trailer? If so, I would say the length is correct. If they have completely flattened out over time that might account for the binding. I'm not sure how you measured so I went ahead and…

Both work really well and will give you a noticeable improvement in ride quality. I scoured forums looking for someone who has tried on the same trailer and was not able to find anyone had done so. All of the feedback on both systems was that it made…

What is the length of your current springs? Also what is the wheelbase distance between your trailer axles? With that info I can see what components you'd need.
