Hello Callen,
According to my research the 2021 Grand Design Imagine 2500RL comes with (2) 3,500 pound axles. Since I do not have a database that supplies me with what is put on what trailer, you will need to check the measurements on the parts you are replacing.
- Leaf springs: should be 25 1/4", you want to measure with the weight unloaded (sometimes best to jack it up to get the weight off), they do stretch over time so you might get a longer measurement like 26". You will want 4 of the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long # DX23CR.
- Shackle strap kit: I am showing that yours are 2 1/4" from so you will want the kit you were looking at, the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 2-1/4" Long Shackle Straps # MR46ZR.
- Equalizer: I found that you have the 33" wheelbase, I would still measure your current ones to make sure they are close to the MORryde ALLTREK 4000 Shock Absorbing Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 33" Wheelbase - 8K # MR89DR. I attached an image for reference.
- U-bolt kit: It is recommended that you do not reuse your U-bolts as they do stretch overtime, you will need 2 sets of the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 5-1/2" Long U-Bolts - Zinc # CE23002
Once you’ve taken your measurements, feel free to comment below with your findings (especially if the axle rating differs) so I can help you confirm fitment. As mentioned earlier, my part suggestions are based on research rather than a manufacturer-supplied database.
Getting things all geared up for a big trip? If so, where are you headed?
