Suspension Enhancement for 2014 Jayco Ultralight Summit Edition

Question

Question:

Looking to upgrade my Travel trailer suspension. I have a 2014 Jayco 28foot Ultralight Summit edition. It has a Tandem set of Dexter axles #3846885 rated for 3500lbs each. The trailer has the wide spread axles. Im looking at the Dexter system or the equaflex ? Not sure which product fits this trailer.

In order to find the correct suspension enhancement for your 2014 Jayco trailer, we will need to know the length and height of the existing equalizers on your trailer. The new equalizers are fine to be a bit taller than the existing equalizers, but the length needs to be as close as possible. I have attached a diagram showing the measurements to take.

If you would like to let me know the measurements of the existing equalizers, I will be happy to help find the correct suspension enhancement for you.

Answer 5

It is a good way to measure for a replacement equalizer, but I always recommend verifying the equalizer length as different springs will allow for different length equalizers. As you have a 42-1/2" spacing you most likely have the 14-3/4"…
