Recommended Equalizer and Wet Bolt with Bushings for 7,000 lb Axle with Correct Track
Question:
I have the Dexter EZ Flex system installed on my fifth wheel. I also have the correct track alignment system installed on the spring ends. Axles are 7000 lbs, 1 3/4inch width springs Question 1: I would like to installed wet bolts and bronze bushing on the spring ends with correct track alignment. What length wet bolt should I purchase? Part number please..... Question 2: Since there are no wet bolts installed, would you know if or have an opinion whether the EZ Flex system has brass or never fail bushings installed? Would like to change those bolts to wet bolts also. Could you supply part numbers for this as well? Question 3: Brass bushing part number also for wet bolts...………. Thanks

The Bronze Bushings - Qty. 4 # K71-291-00 will work well with the wet bolts # 34007-187-00 which are 3-5/8 inches long. The usable length is 2-1/4 inches which will work well with the bronze bushings that are 1.74 inches long.
The neverfail bushings cannot be used with wet bolts as it will break down the bushings.
The EZ Flex system has brass bushings and comes with the wet bolts. For instance the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System by Dexter Axle # K71-653-00 will work with tandem axles up to 8,000 lbs each. The center bolt of the equalizer is not a wet bolt because there are 2 grease zerks in the top of the unit to add the grease. This system does work well with the Correct Track System.
