Question:

Hello I was wondering what are the differences between AP233 and K71-359-00? Also what is the shackle thickness for ap233?

Expert Reply:

The Suspension Kit part # AP233 is more of a basic equalizer and shackle kit that uses standard thickness shackles. The Dexter Heavy Duty Kit part # K71-359-00 uses shackles that are very thick, comes with bronze bushings and all of the bolts are wet bolts which means you can easily grease them. If you want something that is the best and toughest option go with the Dexter. If you are trying to save some money and don't think you'll need the super heavy duty components go with the # AP233 which has 1/4 inch thick shackles.
