Expert Reply:

To determine the correct Suspension kit for your 2009 Forest River Light Hauler you will need to measure the length of your current equalizer as well as the length of your shackle straps. The measurements are taken from the bolt hole center to bolt hole center on both parts.

The Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-359-00 is designed to replace a curved equalizer that is 7-3/4" from bolt hole center to bolt hole center on the lower mounting holes. It also comes with 2-1/4" shackle straps, again these are measured bolt hole center to bolt hole center on the strap. If you would like to upgrade to a cushioned equalizer kit you will need the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-652-00.

The Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-449-00 is designed to replace a curved equalizer that is 5-3/4" from bolt hole center to bolt hole center on the lower mounting holes. It also comes with 2-1/4" shackle straps, again these are measured bolt hole center to bolt hole center on the strap. If you would like to upgrade to a cushioned equalizer kit you will need the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-653-00.

I recommend using the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390 with a Grease Gun # L30416 to fill the wet bolts. This grease is specifically formulated to work under extreme pressure in both hot and cold environments.
