Replacement Trailer Equalizer that is 6-1/16 inches in Length

Question

Question:

I am looking to replace the suspension on my trailer and was looking at purchasing one of your hanger kits to do so. I do not see a kit that has the components that I need but you do sell the components individually. Is it possible to kit up the parts? I have 1 3/4 wide springs with a 6 1/8inch equalizer and 3 1/2inch shackles. basically I need the bolts, shackles, and equalizer. I do not need the actual hanger but will take them if that the only way to get a kit. thanks,

The closest equalizer we have to what you said you need is the part # TREQ310 that is 6-1/16 inches long and 4 inches tall measured on the hole centers of the equalizer.

For bolts you would want the part # 126B2 and then for the shackles part # TRSL350.

Your current equalizers 5-3/4 inches long from eye center to eye center front to back and then are 2-1/2 inches vertically. This is the same as what comes with the #K71-359-00 so this would work well for what you need.
