The Low-Down on the Equalizer for 2" Wide Slipper Springs Video

Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have…

The spring hanger placement is going to be determined by your axle spacing. For example, if your axles are spaced 33 inches apart, as shown in the attached diagram, a 7K axle slipper spring, like #e74SR, requires a distance of 28-1/2 inches between…

I have another option for you but there is not a screw on spindle available for the #8327872 you were looking at. To replace one of the spindles on the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 94" Long - 7,000 lbs #8327872…

You will actually just need kit #APT6SE-36 which is the same thing only the equalizers in it are 13-1/8 inches long. The hardware with each is specific to the kits so some of the other parts are different but for 2 inch slipper springs and 13-1/8…

It really depends on the springs used. Take a look at the picture I have included that shows hanger spacing based on several different springs. This will be a good guide to reference when mocking up the suspension on your trailer. This is also found…

The #42 E-Z Lube 4" Drop Spindle w/ Flange for 5.2K to 7K Trailer Axles #TRU39FR is the same size as that used on the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles #8327860. Both will fit the same Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum…

Basically the biggest difference between a Lippert 1116 and a Lippert 1716 is that the 1716 extends out further than the 1116. The 1716 is considered a long pin box whereas the 1116 is considered a medium length. The length difference will be 5-3/4…

I spoke with my contact at Lippert regarding the existing Lippert 1716 Pin Box #LC1324791 on your trailer. He stated that you can actually replace the pin box with the Lippert 1116 Pin Box #LC1270271, which is shorter than what you have but uses the…

For a tandem axle trailer like what you have the Lippert Components Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade #LC1565391 that you referenced would be a perfect solution. The air bags will give the trailer a much smoother ride quality that…

Thanks for that excellent info, and we do have an option for you, though the Dexter E-Z Flex #K71-656-00 actually has two different size equalizers, one that is 7-1/4" long and the other that is 5-3/4" long (from bolt hole to bolt hole) so…

The easiest way to determine the correct replacement parts for your trailer's suspension is by simply measuring its existing components. Looking at one of your current equalizers, you will want to measure from the center of the front hole to the…

The closest thing that we have to replace your 3-1/4" wet bolts is the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs #166079 which measures 3-1/2" long and has a 9/16" diameter. This is a regular bolt without the grease fitting so…
