Thank you Bryce. I am not clear of the equalizer dimensions or measurements. My physical measurements do not match with the dimensions on Dexter catalog, 600-8000 LBS Capacity. And my axle spacing is 29", not 33". Please help with detailed explanation. Best Regards, Roger Wang

@Roger The equalizers on the kit # K71-359-00 are 5 3/4" like what you measured. The shackle straps are the same at 2 1/4", and works with 1-3/4" double-eye springs. The axle spacing does not matter, the only thing that matters is that the equalizers match, which they do. If you have any questions let me know and I'd be happy to assist.
