How to Provide Lift on a Trailer
Question:
Hi, I currently have Dexter 13-122 equalizers on my tandem axle trailer. I am looking to get some lift and wondering if this product will fit my axles and will it provide any lift? Thanks

The replacement equalizers for your axles are the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System # K71-653-00. The E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System # K71-652-00 are not a fit for your axles nor would they give you any lift.
There are a couple of options for you to lift your trailer and gain some clearance.
One is for you is a Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit. We have two kits available # K71-384-00 if your axle is 2-3/8 inches or if you have a 3 inch axle you'll need # K71-385-00. With this kit you actually move your suspension to the top of your axles increasing your overall clearance. I've attached a video for you to see.
Another option is to replace your axle with an axle-less system by Timbren. Which system you need depends on weight capacity of your axle. I linked our selection of axles and you can filter by Timbren to look through them. Or if you'd rather you can provide me the weight capacity of your axle and I can recommend a system for you.
