Question:

I have a 2023 Grand Design 21 BHE. My equalizer is 7.75 inch across from the center point of the lower left/right holes. The distance from the upper hole center-point to the center point of the lower left/right holes is 3.5. Im trying to figure out how I can make this work, or if I can make it work. Lippert documentation appears to be completely devoid of any information on what works and doesnt work in terms of sizing. Can you help?

Expert Reply:

I do have some direct equalizer upgrade options for you, but the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 won't work unless you get longer shackle straps, but even then if you already have 3-1/8" long shackles you won't be able to get longer ones.

For direct replacements we have the Dexter E-Z Flex # K71-653-00 and Lippert Equa-Flex # LC279688 kits. Both options are great for upgrading but the E-Z Flex system is more of a premium style so I recommend going that route for the best suspension setup.
