Thank you for the photo that was super helpful, and based off that I can tell you that yes, the Dexter suspension kit you asked about will work for your equalizers, with the part number being the following:
- Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers - 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs # K71-448-00
The # K71-448-00 uses equalizers that have bolt holes 6 inches apart on center just like in your photo, and also 4 inches tall (I have added a photo with the dimensions of the equalizer). The width is the most important thing but since your equalizers look to have the same height, that means your trailer won't be raised or lowered, it'll stay the exact same height.
You made a really good choice going with the # K71-448-00 as this kit will make it much simpler to lubricate with the wet bolts, and its 1/2" shackle straps are twice as thick as standard straps so they are far more durable.
