Will Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit Fit Jayco Octane Tandem Axle
Updated 07/01/2026 | Published 06/30/2026
Question:
Will this work on a Jayco Octane dual axle trailer. The equalizers on the trailer are 5 3/4 from center of hole to the other center of hole. Shackles measure 2 1/4 from center of bolts holes. Just want to make sure the bolts and shackles are the correct ones before ordering.

Hey Chase! Thanks for providing those measurements. The Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # K71-359-00 is the right kit for your Jayco Octane. This matches your existing equalizer and shackles strap dimensions, and the wet bolts are the standard size which is what you will have on your Jayco.

Chase, 1. I love mine! Great product when you see what you're replacing. Installing- I did one side at a time. Jacked the trailer in two places forward and aft of the tandem. Used two jacks, one for each axle after I removed both tires to have maximum movement. After that, with an impact and an air hammer w/ various attachments, 45min a side. BOOM! You're done. Nick
