Question:

I am needing this for my StarCraft 2023 Autumn ridge FBS. Do you sell this in an entire kit needed for installation? Shackles, bronze bushings, everything needed? Or can you tell me all the parts needed for installation? Thanks.

Thanks for reaching out Chris, I'd be happy to help.

The Lippert Road Armor Equalizer Kit # LC53CK includes the two equalizers with the bronze bushings pre-installed. To complete the setup, shakles/wet bolts are in the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit # 018-026-05 and the MORryde Grade 5 Flange Lock Nuts # MR85DR.

If you haven't, before ordering I recommend verifying a couple of measurements on your current suspension:

Measure your equalizer from the center of the top mounting hole to the centerline of the lower shackle holes, and the center to center distance between the two lower shackle holes.
Measure your shackle straps from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the other.

If you'd like to send me those measurements, I'll be happy to confirm that the Road Armor kit and suspension hardware are the correct fit for your trailer.

Are you looking to replace the equalizers as preventative maintenance, or are you trying to improve ride quality issue?

I believe it is a 33 inch wheelbase. I am looking at both preventative and improved ride quality.

@ChrisJ got it, upgrading equalizers will definitely help with that. Before ordering, you'll want to verify the dimensions of your current suspension. The Road Armor # LC53CK measures 6" center to center between the lower shackle bolt holes, so you'll want the upgraded equalizer to be as close to your current equalizer measurement as possible. It's also a good idea to measure your shackle straps center-to-center to make sure the rest of the hardware is a match.

@JamesD inhabe confirmed that they are 6 inches. The shackle straps center to center appear to be 2 and a quarter
