Question:
W ill the Equa Flex Equalizers give me a height increase when installed? I want to gain about two inches to clear bed rails without flipping axles as that would be to much as the 5th wheel is already pretty high as it has a 12 I beam frame Thanks

Possibly a bit; it just depends on the height of your current equalizers. The Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers - Double Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 6K to 8K # LC279688 measure 4 inches tall from bottom to top bolt hole, so if you use the same shackle straps and that is quite a bit taller than your equalizer you will add some height.
It won't be much though, so if you don't want to add an over/under kit then the next best thing to do is to replace your hangers with taller ones, which can give you the amount of added height you want. This requires having your current hangers removed and welded on, but for example if your current hangers were 2 inches you could add 2-1/4 inches of height with the Front/Center/Rear Hanger for Double-Eye Springs - 4-1/4" Tall # E4139.
I have added a link below to our selection of hangers if you'd like to take a look.
