Question:

Can you tell me if Dexter offers a standard duty kit with plastic bushings and regular thickness plates rather than heavy duty K71-448-00

Expert Reply:

Hi Mark; the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # K71-448-00 is the only kit we have with this equalizer from Dexter. I do recommend the bronze bushings and 1/2" thick shackles since those components can easily fail and this ensures they last a lot longer. However, if you really don't want them you can piece things together with the following:

-Triangular Equalizer for 1-3/4" Double-Eye Springs - 6" Long - 9/16" Center Hole # TREQ310

-Replacement Standard Shackle Link - 2-1/4" Long - Zinc - Qty 1 # LC122487

-Nylon Bushing - 9/16" Inner Diameter, 11/16" Outer Diameter - 1-3/4" Long # TRBU11566

-Step Wet Bolt for 1-3/4" Double Eye Springs # 34007-187-00

-Replacement Flange Nut for Dexter Trailer Suspension Kits # 006-092-01
