Answer 1

As long as your current equalizers and shackle straps match the dimensions of what comes in the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit #K71-359-00 then you should be good to go. The equalizers measure 5-3/4&quot; long from center-hole to…

Finding the correct MORryde equalizer kit will be pretty specific, so I cannot tell you which will be correct without knowing the wheel spacing and axle capacity, unfortunately. With that being said, if you have the trailer&#39;s VIN, you may…

When lining up the axis of the wet bolts it does not matter if the 90 degrees is forward or back. As long as it's either you are good!

You can use the 25-1/4" 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,000-lb Trailer Axles #e44SR to replace your current leaf springs that measure 26" from eye to eye. What happens is that leaf springs will stretch out and flatten over time. So…

Answer 10

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…

Answer 11

You could use a taller equalizer but you would also need to use taller front and rear hangers as well. Everything will have to be raised equally so if you go up 2 inches in one spot you have to go up 2 inches in all spots. If you do not raise it at…

Answer 12

You would need to measure from the center of the two bolt holes on your existing shackle straps in order to find the exact replacement. The Dexter Equalizer part 13-10 works with multiple different length shankle straps which will be based on the…
