Suspension Upgrades for Tandem 3,500 Pound Dexter Axles on a Jayco Travel Trailer
Question:
Hey there Im looking at these axle Equalizer shock mount kits, Im finding lots of info on them for the 6k and 8k axles but nothing confirming that this shock kit will fit tandem 3500 # axles. Measurements are very close on my application. I have a 2010 Dexter built sub frame and Dexte tandem electric brake axle package on a 19foot jayco travel trailer. Please advise which kit I need :

E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System # K71-652-00 is designed for axle capacities up to 6,000 pounds. So if your measurements are close to those of this system you can use it. This system was designed to fit in place of equalizer # TREQ104 (13-104). Check your equalizers for the part number or just go by the measurements.
Other option to improve the ride of the trailer is to use a shock kit such as # LC281255 for 2-3/8 inch diameter round axles or # LC281281 for 3 inch diameter round axles.
