Diameter of Center Hole in Equalizer in APT5 Tandem Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs

Question

Question:

I previously inquired and got a quick answer but then I replied another question and got no answer. Then today I called in this question and have yet to get a response back. I am wanting to buy the APT 5 spring hanger kit with the TREQE 34 equalizer with the 3/4inch center hole and wet bolt. Problem = TREQE 34 in the kit description states that equalizer has 9/16 center hole. TREQE 34 in individual equalizer purchase says it has 3/4 center hole. Questions: How can TREQE 34 have two different center hole sizes under the same part #? Does the TREQE 34 in the APT 5 kit have the 3/4 center hole and wet bolt or not? If it does I am ready to purchase this kit, as well as four springs for 6L axles, and the APUBR-9 U bolt kit.

The equalizer that comes in the # APT5 Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit is part # TREQE1. This eqalizer has a 9/16 inch diameter center and end holes.

The # TREQE34 equalizer comes in the hanger kit # APT3HD. The # TREQE34 does have a 3/4 inch diameter center hole and 9/16 diameter end holes. Two wet bolts are included in the # APT3HD kit for the 3/4 inch diameter center holes on the equalizers.

The issue you are experiencing is a result of leaf springs that are too long for your hanger spacing. You will want shorter springs and I recommend also going with a capacity more geared toward your axles. You will want to use the Triple-Axle Trailer…

I contacted MORryde and this does happen from time to time as the weight of the trailer can spread out the axles due to downward pressure on the springs/suspension. Odds are the 35" wheel base #MR27ZR will be the correct one for you, but they…

Yes, axle spread and wheel base by definition are the same measurements. You will measure from the center of one axle to the center of the 2nd axle to determine what you axle spread is. This may be difficult as some wheels and covers will make this…

Well shackle length is mainly based on the height difference between the front and rear hangers. The rear hanger normally doesn't hang as low as the front so that the shackle can offset the difference and add the ability to move. What is the…

Thanks for the pictures! Since your 2022 Grand Design Reflection 303RLS came with the CRE3000 equalizers you will need three of the MORryde X-Factor Crossmember item #MR33WR. It looks like you have the standard 3" wide frame hanger so all of the…

Answer 11

The hangers you currently have on your trailer are ones I have run into before. That being said, I spoke with MORryde and the #MR27ZR will still fit your trailer, but there is a modification that will need to be made. You’ll have to trim according to…

Answer 12

Trailer manufacturers don't usually keep a record of parts like these that they install at the factory, so I cannot be sure as to the exact length of the shackle strap that would have come originally on your trailer. With this in mind, a 3-1/8…
