Hey Keith thanks for all the information! The best suspension kit for your 2004 Continental A2150-5000 trailer is going to be the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit item # K71-653-00. This kit has upgraded equalizers with rubber cores that absorb road shock, which give you a smoother ride. The shackle straps are slightly shorter at 3/8" which will not affect your suspension. They have wet bolts with built-in grease zerks that makes maintenance extremely easy.

I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get this suspension kit set up.

Additionally, if you are wanting to replace your leaf springs while you have your suspension taken apart, the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long item # e57SR would be a great replacement option.

Thank you for the reply That kit may be a little more than I’m wanting to spend based on my needs How about K71–4 49–00 I know it does not have the cushioned equalizer, but what are your thoughts on this kit instead? Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

@Keith The Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers item # K71-449-00 will definitely work as a replacement. It's got the grease zerks for the wet bolts. Like you said you'd be cutting out the cushioned equalizer.
