Updated 01/05/2026 | Published 09/23/2024
Question:
Hello, I am looking to upgrade tandem axle equalizers, shackles and add wet bolts. My 5th wheel is a 2017 Grand Design 26RL VIN XXXX. The rear axles are Lippert Axle LCI35-SB-86.5-68.5-NOSP-OS-L-655-7278-30PT-3-GAWR4400. I’m not sure what information you need to help with selecting the parts needed for the upgrade. Let me know is you need and specific measurements and I can get them. Thank you for your help and recommendations.

Hey Todd, thanks for reaching out!
We definitely have the parts to get the suspension on your rig upgraded - I just need to know the dimensions between the bolt holes both on your equalizer and your shackles in order to make sure you get the correct replacements.
Attached are some photos showing the dimensions that I need. If you can get those to me I'll be happy to make some specific recommendations for you!
