Can Lippert Road Armor Cushioned Equalizers Be Used On 32' 14000lb Hot Shot Trailer?
Question:
I have a hot shots 32 foot flat bed, we but about 100k miles on a year. Its a 14k lbs load capacity not seeing more then 10k in actual load. The current leaf stabilizer bar is bad. I want to upgrade, to the road armor stabilizer if it would be a good choice for the commercial use, if not, what is recommend for upgrade for it.

I reached out to my contact at Lippert and she mentioned there would be no issues using the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizers # LC696740 on a trailer used as much as yours, and that since adding them would relieve stress on your axles and other suspension components it would be a good investment for you.
These equalizers are made for 3500-8000lb axles so they will work just fine on your trailer with a 14000lb rating.
To make sure that these equalizers will fit your trailer you will need to measure the distance between the horizontal mounting holes of your current equalizers, along with the distance between the upper mounting hole and the centerline of the two horizontal mounting holes.
The # LC696740 measures 6" between the horizontal mounting holes, and 3-1/2" between the upper mounting hole and the centerline of the two horizontal mounting holes as you can see in the included diagram. If this matches the dimensions of your current equalizer this would be a great replacement option for you.
If you find your equalizer does not match these measurements just let me know and I would be happy to make a recommendation for you.
I included a video of the # LC696740 being installed for you to take a look at.
