Hey Hugh, thanks for the information! I checked with Grand Design and you're going to need the 8,000 lbs Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit item # K71-653-00. The 8,000 lbs equalizer matches your current item # A2252CB-GALV equalizer length wise and is also designed for 35" axle spreads.
The Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit item # K71-653-00 includes replacement shackle straps and upgraded suspension bolts.
For a bumper mounted 2" hitch, I recommend our etrailer item # e38HR. This hitch bolts directly to 4" x 4" and 4" x 4-1/2" square bumpers. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs. I highly recommend checking your owner's manual to ensure your Grand Design's bumper is rated to be used for towing or mounting accessories to.
What do you plan on using your new hitch for?

The new hitch would be used for an ebike bike rack. Each bike is approximately 70lbs
