What Is The Longevity Of The E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System # K71-652-00?

Question:

how long do they last? do we need to carry a spare? replacing the original system with the K71-652 on a 2012 30foot KZ Spree travel trailer.

It is really difficult to say how long the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System by Dexter Axle - 5-5/8" Equalizers, # K71-652-00, will last. It depends on so many different variables including weight, driving conditions, weather conditions, if it was maintained correctly, etc. I reached out Dexter Axle and they said that they don't have any specifics they can give because of all of those variables.

What they did point out that I think is valuable to know is that even if the suspension rubber core were to go bad, the equalizer still works, just without the additional cushion. So you don't need to have a spare on hand, but you may choose to based on your preferences.
