Expert Reply:
When looking at equalizers for your trailer's suspension, anything at or over an inch in difference will most likely cause some issues with the overall suspension, especially if nothing else is being replaced.
To replace your original equalizers, I recommend using the TruRyde Triangular Equalizer # TREQ310. This measures 6-1/16 inches in length and 4 inches in height. I have included a short demonstration video on this product for you to check out.
I also recommend sticking with the same size 2-1/4 inch shackle strap # TRSL225.
