Replacement Kit For Upgrading a 2016 K-Z Vision Travel Trailer with 5-3/4" Equalizer to Wet Bolts
Question:
My trailer equalizer length is 5 3/4inch and Height is about 1 3/4. Leaf spring width is about 1 3/4. I figure the best fit would be Kit #K71-359-00. Would I be correct?

Yes, the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-359-00 is going to a good fit for your trailer. This kit will upgrade you to a wet bolt system for improved suspension travel on your 2016 K-Z Vision travel trailer. You should also consider the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-652-00. This uses a cushioned equalizer that will help to reduce road shock that is typically transferred into your trailer. The kit also includes all the wet bolts and parts needed for your trailer.
I recommend using the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390 with a Grease Gun # L30416. This grease is formulated to work well in both hot and cold climates. It is also highly water insoluble so it will not wash away easily if you drive in wet conditions. The grease gun has an 18" flexible hose with pistol grip handle that will make it easier to get to the grease zerk to add grease.
