These rubberized equalizers replace the standard equalizers on your tandem-axle trailer's double-eye leaf spring suspension.

Greasable pivot offers easy lubrication.Looks great and probably very much functional, but I only received one of the equalizers rather than the pair. Emailed etrailer for the second one and waiting on response. Hopefully I get it promptly because I have a time slot budgeted out next weekend to work on this trailer.

@Mike L - they are 7000 lb axles. Trailer is rarely over 10k lbs gross loaded.
We went on a cross country trip right after I installed the new equalizers and I will say that the towing was smoother, softer with less jarring especially over RR tracks and uneven bumpy pavement.
As much as I paid for these, the mounting hardware should have been included instead of having to order a hardware kit costing an extra $XXX. If I didn’t need these so bad I’d return them.
Wow! Trailer rides a lot smoother, between new leaf springs and the new equalizers the trailer rides better than it did when new.
Direct replacement for existing Equa Flex suspension component. The original didn’t last long (5000 miles) but a replacement with the greasable pivots and replacement to beefier stock linkages should help. Time will tell. Installation easy enough - did it at the RV park with some wood blocks, 8 ton jack and hand tools. Not an excellent review because I’m a bit disappointed the original didn’t last long.
Went together like it was supposed to, step up from previous equals flex equalizers.

UPDATED REVIEW: eTrailer is get me the missing equalizer and they were easy to work with. Appreciate that. These are installed on a horse trailer and it definitely smooths the ride out to almost air ride like. When traversing thru potholes or over speed bumps, the axles articulate like a centipede crawling over and dont even hardly notice the trailer bounce. 5 stars for the ride quality! Unfortunately, durability wise, only 2, maybe 3 stars at best. We sue this trailer on a daily basis and they are already worn out after 6 months, even with them being greaseable. I have been having continuing problems with the wet bolts plugging up see my review on the Lippert wet bolt shackle kit and the pivot bushing wore itself into the equalizer housing. I had to weld and re-bore this hole just to replace the bushing I didnt have time to wait for replacements, the trailer had to get back on the road right away. The bushings in the lower flex arms are worn out as well. I am meticulous on maintenance and have tried everything to help these last but in the end, spending $450+ every 6 months to keep replacing these is not sustainable. The root cause I believe to this problem is the leverage the axles have on upper pivot when making turns. I do not know how to avoid this as it is simply a matter of where the shackles are mounted in relation to where the pivot is. I will probably be looking at an air ride conversion ultimately, but in the meantime, I will be ordering another set of these along with the wet bolts and see how long I can make it.
