Recommendation For Axle Trailer Suspension Kit

Question:

My camper trailer is 2013 Coachmen Apex. Is k71-359-00 the correct kit? Does it come with enough bushings and bolts for the outer ends of springs? And are all these parts made in the USA?

Expert Reply:

The Dexter Axle Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit, Item # K71-359-00, is meant to be a hardware kit for tandem axle trailers like your Coachmen that have 1-3/4 inch double eye springs.

The kit includes:

02 Equalizers
14 Flange Nuts
02 Shoulder Bolts
04 Wet Bolts
08 Bushings, 9/16 inch X 1-3/4 inch
04 Shackle Links
04 Shackle Link Assemblies

This kit has all the hardware you need for two axles.

I contacted Dexter Axles directly to ask about where the parts are made. When possible, Dexter uses parts "made in the USA". The Customer Service Department at Dexter could not confirm that all parts are "made in the USA" and told me that this particular kit is probably a mixture of manufacturers.
