Recommendation for Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension System to Replace EQ356 Equalizers on Trailer
Question:
I need a replacement tandem double eye leaf suspension kit for my RV trailer. Currently have EQ-356 Equalizer with 2.5inch shackles. Will E-Z Flex kit K71-653-00 work?

Expert Reply:
The Dexter E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System # K71-653-00 referenced in your question has a 7-3/4 inch equalizer and is intended for 8,000 pound axles. Based on the dimensions for your # TREQ356 Equalizer, which has a distance of 6-1/8 inches between the mounting holes, this may be a bit too large for a direct replacement.
I instead recommend looking at the E-Z Flex # K71-652-00. These will fit in place of equalizers that are between 5-1/4 inches and 6-1/4 inches long. This will work nicely on your trailer as long as the axle spacing is 33 inches apart on center. This kit will include the bolts, shackle links and rubber equalizers.
I have attached a couple of video demonstrations on this product that you can also take a look at.
