Hi Kenneth!

This is something I have run into before. What you will need to do is measure your frame hanger spread (FHS). This should be done from the center of the front hanger to the center of the rear hanger. I included an image of the measurement table to make it easier. The MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 35" Wheelbase - 8K # MR27ZR is most likely going to be the correct one for you, but let me know if the measurement you get is completely different from what is listed in the picture.

Out of curiosity, what kind of 5th wheel do you have?

Trailer is a Cedar Creek Champaign Edition 38EL. It has Dexter Equalizer's on it now. I forgot to subtract 1/2 of the hub cap cover. It is still 37 inches center to center. Springs are 26 inches from shackles to shackles. Will the MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizer make it ride better? As now it is the worst riding trailer I have ever had, Thank you for all the information Kenneth Tanksley

@KennethT A 37" wheel base is dang close to what the MORryde # MR27ZR lists, but I would still do one measurement to make sure. Check the height and length of the Dexter you currently have and compare it to the MORryde (there is a diagram on the product page). You are most likely good to go, but I am a bit fastidious about this sort of thing. This will also improve your ride. These have a good amount of cushion in them and it definitely gets rid of the harshness.

They measured about the same. From the center bolt to ones on each side measure 3 inches on Dexter and 3 1/2 on MORryde. Rest is about the same. I'm going to go with your suggestion on parts. I sure appreciate all the information you have given me. Thank you, Kenneth Tanksley

@KennethT A 1/2" difference between them will cause no issues. you are good to go! Let me know if you have any other questions. : )
