Hey Calvin!

The Dexter Curved Equalizer # K13-142-02 looks like a good replacement for your Lippert EQ13-142-14.75x2.0x1.75 equalizer.

Both use the same 13-142 design, with a length of approximately 14-3/4" and a height of 2", so I wouldn't expect you to need any modifications to your suspension setup.

That said, I'd still recommend confirming the mounting hole sizes and spacing before ordering. You'll also want to inspect your existing bolts, bushings, and shackles for wear, since those may need replacing while you've got everything apart.

Are you replacing the equalizer because the original is worn out, or are you looking to make an upgrade to your suspension?

Replacing the original but unable to find the Lippert version. I noticed the Lippert has 2.0 inch’s from Centre of bolt hole on end to to the centre of bolt hole on top . Dexter shows 2.5 inches unsure if this 1/2 inch would be a issue

@CalvinB Our measurements put that measurement at 2", so it's the exact same as Lippert's EQ 13-142. No worries on the replacement, it's an exact fit.
