E-Z Flex Suspension Kit Upgrade for Dexter Standard 013-122 Equalizer Kit

Updated 09/11/2023 | Published 09/10/2023

Question:

I have a 2022 Grand Design 17MKE travel trailer with Lippert 3000 lbs axles. The 3000 lb axle is no longer available and is probably too light for this RV. Im in the process of looking to replace the axles with a 3500 lb axle. The GVWR is right at 6400 LBS. I am looking at the EZ-Flex Kit #k71-653-06 with a 35 inch axle spacing. Can you confirm this part is a retrofit for the Dexter 013-122 style equalizer? And will this kit work for my travel trailer?

According to my research your Dexter 013-122 equalizer has bolt holes measuring 7-3/4" across and 2-7/8" down (to the centerline of the horizontal holes) so the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-653-00 will fit perfect as an upgrade and replacement for your current equalizers.

If you can get me the length of your leaf springs and shackle straps (center bolt hole to center bolt hole) as well as the hub-face and spring-center distances for your current setup I can recommend other parts as well.
