Finding Correct Replacement Tandem Trailer Axle Equalizer Kit

Question

Question:

Will AP233 work for me? I have an aluminum trailer that uses 25-1/4inch springs. The old leveler is 5-3/4inch hole to hole so.. Will your kit AP233 work okay for me? My old ones appear to be Dexter K71-359-00 Thanks in advance

As long as the new equalizer has the same hole spacing as the existing equalizer, it'll work just fine. You'll also want to make sure the height of the equalizer is also the same. Put a ruler across the center of the two bottom bolt holes, and measure up to the center to the top bolt hole. If this distance is about two inches, then the # AP233 would be the correct replacement.

There is unfortunately no master list of every part number of every model of every year of trailer, so you would need to measure to find replacements. For example, equalizer #TREQE1 fits 1-3/4" wide, double-eye leaf springs with 9/16"…
