Heeeeeeey Randy!
If you can let me know what the dimensions are between the bolt holes on your equalizer I can let you know what a replacement would be (see attached image).
Also, are you looking for a direct replacement, or are you wanting to upgrade? I'll need to know what style of equalizer (standard or upgraded style) you currently have in addition to the bolt hole locations.

Hey Randy, did you get a chance to measure the bolt hole spacing on your current equalizer? Once you have those numbers, I can help confirm which Dexter equalizer will fit your trailer. Let me know what you find so we can narrow it down.
