Improving Suspension of Tandem Axle Trailer with 3,500 lb Axles

Question:

I have the following trailer 1999 Terry Lite 5th wheel 24 Axle to Axle: 28.5 Spring width: 1 3/4 inch x 23 inch long Equalizer: 5 3/4 inch x 3 3/8 The description states it will fit 33 inch axle to axle. Will this EZ - Flex kit fit on my trailer above? Thanks.

While we have a good option to improve the ride of your 1999 Terry Lite 5th Wheel trailer, the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System # K71-652-00 is specifically designed for replacing Equalizer # TREQ104 and 33 inch tandem axle spacing so it isn't going to be a fit for your application.

Instead, to improve the ride quality of your trailer I highly recommend the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 3,500-lb Axle # RM-2450.

This kit is for 3,500 lb axles, which is what your 5th wheel trailer should have, though you will want to verify the axles are round and 2-3/8" diameter. This system bolts on, mounts to your trailer frame and gives you a much smoother, more comfortable ride due to the shocks engaging.

I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well.
