Hey Ken, thanks for the information. To replace your Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers LC279688 you'll want the MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers item # MR27ZR. This equalizers are almost the exact same size and will be a solid upgrade.
The MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers item # MR76ZR is the correct shackle and wet bolt kit. This kit includes 3-1/8" shackle straps, greaseable wet bolts with built-in grease zerks, and bronze bushings. The bronze bushings are more durable and last longer than the plastic bushings found on most factory suspensions.
The MORryde X-Factor Crossmember for Standard Frame Hangers item # MR33WR is exactly what you need for your Dutchmen Infinity. It's compatible with the item # MR27ZR equalizers and supports your suspension by increasing the lateral strength.
There are a couple Equa-Flex equalizers. Will you confirm that the mounting bolt spacing across the center of yours is 7-1/2" between the center of the two holes?
