Replacement Equalizer and Wet Bolt Kit for 2013 Alcom Enclosed Trailer

Question

Question:

Fairly certain that you folks do not have a comprehensive list for every single trailer ever made, so have included some of the dimensions of my springs and equalizer. OEM Equalizer: Lippert, Part # 13-104 2inch height X 5-3/4inch length Springs: 1-3/4 Shackles: OAL of 3-1/2inch +/- a bit, with 2-1/2inch bolt centers, approx as holes are worn and stretched Bolts : 3inch ? OAL, Believe they are 9/16, but not certain. 13/16inch socket/wrench, if I recall correctly Wondering which kit to buy. Guessing that K71-359-00 is appropriate. However, I would like the equalizers to be equipped with grease zirks, as are the shackle bolts, but it does not appear to be so equipped. Thanks in advance. CC

For an exact replacement the correct equalizer you'd want is the part # TREQ104. The part # K71-359-00 is a kit that includes this same equalizer but has wet bolts and heavy duty shackles and wet bolts. There isn't a similar equalizer that has the zerk fitting.
