Question:
I have a double axel utility trailer. I have a question about the equalizer. It’s making the “W” but it doesn’t look completely level. I have a picture of it

Hey Matt. You can email whatever pictures you have to the address you receive this response from. If you're needing to replace the equalizer I'll either need a part number off of it or some measurements. The measurements will be from the center to the center of the bolt holes in the middle of the equalizer from left to right and also from the top bolt hole of the equalizer to the center line of the first measurement like the picture below.
