Hey Kyler, thanks for reaching out!

I don't have the outside width of the Equalizer for 2" Wide Slipper Springs # TREQ4541, but this will fit if you're replacing a 12" long equalizer for 2" wide slipper springs. If you have something different please let me know and I'll be happy to help you figure out the part(s) you'll need!

Jon, I have an existing hanger bracket the equalizer needs to fit in. Therefore I need to know the outside width of this equalizer before ordering.

@Kyler This uses at least 1/8" steel so if your hanger has at least 2-1/4" of spacing (probably slightly over that) then this will fit.
