Should I Replace The Equalizers With The Shackle Link Kit On a 2014 Grand Design Solitude 369RL?

Question:

Have a 2014 Grand Design SOLITUDE 369RL model and have correct track trailer alignment. I have the 2 1/4 inch shackle links. Should I replace the links and equalizer or just links? Pictures should help with questions. Have the #7000 lb tandem axles and axles are 34 inches apart. I just recently changed all tires from E rated tires to G rated tires. Tire size make a difference? The MR58ZR should work?

Unless your Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279688 are worn out or damaged you would only need to replace the Shackle Kit # MR58ZR on your 2014 Grand Design Solitude 369RL. I do not see that your current equalizers are damaged they only appear to have surface rust. If you can see any damage to the rubber cushioning or severe rust then they should be replaced as well.
