Yes, the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System by Dexter Axle # K71-652-00 is the perfect replacement for your # TREQ356 equalizers. These are actually compatible as a replacement for equalizers that measure between 5-1/4" and 6-1/4" between the horizontal bolt hole centers (see attached photo). This equalizer has a vertical bolt hole distance that is 1/4" shorter than your current application but that is acceptable for this application.
