Replacement Equalizers and Shackle Straps for 2007 Keystone Raptor 3712

Question

Question:

I have a 2007 raptor 3712 triple axle. With 8,000lb axles. It’s time to redo the shackles and equalizers. Would like to upgrade to newer style . Looking for help ordering the correct stuff. Front to middle axle measures 32 1/2”. Middle to rear axle measures 33 1/2”. The rear equalizer measures 7” center to center bolt. The front equalizer measures 5 3/4” center to center bolt. The shackles are 2 3/4” center to center. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for all of that excellent information and photos!

To replace the front equalizer you need the Curved Equalizer # TREQ104 and then for the rear equalizer you need the Equalizer for 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs # TREQ105. To replace your 2-3/4" long shackle straps use part # TRSL275.

While you're replacing everything it would be work swapping out your bolts as well. To do this you need a 9/16" diameter bolt that's 3" long like the Redline # 126B2.

If you're looking to do an overhaul and upgrade as opposed to just replacement then I recommend checking out the MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers for Triple Axle Trailers w/ 33" Wheelbase # MR59ZR. This looks a little different than what you currently have but it's designed for an 8K triple axle setup with a 33" wheelbase (33" from center of axle to center of axle). We've experienced nothing but good from the MORryde suspension upgrade kits so I know you'll be happy with this performance.

If you go this route then I recommend using the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit # MR86ZR instead which comes with 2-1/4" long shackles and everything you need to get it all installed.

Attached are some review videos for you to check out.

The Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers part #LC279689 is the best suspension upgrade option for a Keystone Raptor 3712 Toy Hauler and what I recommend that you use as it will be a direct fit replacement. The Equa-Flex is pretty much the same thing as the…

It appears that your 2006 Keystone Raptor 3612 5th Wheel Toy Hauler has an axle spacing of 33" and uses the 5-3/4" wide short equalizer. I do recommend confirming this as if the suspension has been modified in the last 16 years by a…

Based on my research, it looks like your 2006 Keystone Raptor 5th Wheel Trailer should be equipped with a Venture landing gear system, although I do recommend verifying this. For a great replacement system, I recommend looking at the Lippert Electric…

The MORryde Premium Rubber Suspension Kit for Triple Axle Trailers part #MR62TR should not change the distance between the tires as the equalizer and shackle strap dimensions should be the same as the existing. This is basically what is being…

Hey Rusty! Can you measure the flat length? Check out the help article below which explains how to measure. This is the best solution for worn out leaf springs. Realistically they're probably a little shorter than 24-7/8" which means we…

Hey Kyle, this is a great question but the difference is the bolt length for the ones that connect to the hangers because the Correct Track brackets add thickness. You can see the difference in the two pictures I attached. Note how much more bolt is…

Those are some good options, and the best overall upgrade (without getting too crazy like you said!) for your Jayco with tandem 3,500 lb axles is going to be the MORryde CRE3000 with the X-factor crossmember. The Road Armor is good, but the…

The equalizers on your triple axle setup will not be identical and there is nothing to worry about with your hanger spacing. However, since they appear to be worn it may be a good idea to go ahead and upgrade them. It looks like the Dexter E-Z Flex…
