Will Replacing the Equalizers Raise/Lower the Trailer
Question:
I installed the K71-652-00 on my toyhauler with 6000# dexter axles. It dropped my suspension height. I was wondering if I could install the equa-flex LC279688 and regain some of my stock height back. My leaf springs are already over my axle.

Expert Reply:
The E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System by Dexter Axle part # K71-652-00 should not raise or lower the trailer if properly installed and to the exact specifications of your previous equalizers. It sounds to me like the distance from the top eyelet hole to the bottom eyelet hole on part # K71-652-00 is smaller than your original equalizers. This would in turn cause the trailer to sit lower. This measurement is represented by letter "E" in the attached photo.
If you can provide me with the following measurements listed in the photo (A, B, C, D, E) of your original equalizers, I would happy to tell you if the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers part # LC279688 would raise your trailer back to factory height.
