Cushioned Equalizer Recommendation for 2017 Jayco Whitehawk 27DSRL with Wide Track Equalizers

Question

Question:

I have a 2017 Jayco Whitehawk 27DSRL with widespread Lippert axles. I am looking to have the suspension upgraded Dexter axles, Dexter equalizer, and new springs. Currently the trailer has 2 3500# Lippert axles. I have included a picture of the original equalizer which has side bolt to side bolt measurement of 14 and 3/4 inches. Spring eye to eye center is 26 1/4 inches. Is there a Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit for double eye springs that will work for my application?

Hey Clarence, so we do have a cushioned equalizer solution that fits your wide track tandem axle setup like with the equa flex part # LC314336 but we don't have a Dexter EZ Flex that fits this size.

We also have a MORryde part # MR34AR which would be my first choice as I prefer the way these rotate to provide the cushioning and MORryde just has a really good reputation in terms of performance and quality.

Yes, you can purchase the equalizers by themselves from the kit part #K71-653-00. The E-Z Flex 8,000 lb Equalizers alone without the kit components is part #K71-655-00 for a quantity of 2. The equalizers measure 2-7/8" tall by 7-3/4" Long…

The CRE3000 is a great kit but I would need to verify the axle capacity of your trailer as well as the distance between your axle centers to recommend what would be your best option.

Yes, the equalizer that is included with the Suspension Kit #e99ZR will come with nylon bushings installed. I prefer using bronze bushings with wet bolts myself as they will allow for smoother and quieter operation. The Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit…

According to MORryde the AllTrek 4000 #MR29DR does not have a minimum weight requirement. However, smaller axles typically aren't compatible since there are other requirements like wheel size. The equalizers require a minimum rim size of 15"…

Answer 9

So starting with the question about weight, since you have 5,200 lb axles, go with the 5,300 lb leaf springs, or even 6,000 lb leaf springs would be okay, but I do not recommend going with springs rated less than the axle capacity. The number of…

Answer 10

The difference between the #K71-653-00 and the #K71-655-00 is that one is a kit and one is just the equalizers. The Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit #K71-653-00 includes the equalizers, shackles, nuts and bolts. While the E-Z Flex Equalizers…

You can eliminate the bounce in your trailer and smooth your ride with the addition of Sumo Springs. You will have two options, depending on how your leaf springs are mounted on your trailer. If your leaf springs are underslung, meaning they are…

Answer 12

The SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs typically install compressed so they do tend to provide more space between the frame and axle in most cases but not by much and this is not really the goal of the system. If you don't have enough space…
