Question:

Im looking for a kit exactly like the Dexter Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension - K71-359-00 but with 3-1/8 shackles instead of 2-1/4. Do you sell a kit like this or is my only option to buy a separate shackle lit and equalizers? Also, why does the Dexter kit come with QTY=14 7/16 nuts when all the bolts are 9/16? Is this a typo?

Expert Reply:

There is not an option for the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # K71-359-00 with 2-1/4" shackles so you'd have to get equalizers and shackles separately. And the 7/16" nuts are not a typo, that is the size of the bolts at the threaded ends. For the same length equalizer and suspension upgrade kit here's what you need:

- MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 3-1/8" Long Shackle Straps # MR76ZR

- Curved Equalizer for 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs - 5-3/4" Long - 9/16" Center Hole # TREQ104
