How To Use the E-Z Flex Triple Axle Suspension Kit On Trailer with 7 Inch Longer Center Equalizer

Question

Question:

I have a triple axle trailer with axle spacing of 33 inches. My front equalizers are 7 inches hole to hole. My rear equalizers are the 5 5/8 or whatever. Will the K-71-656-00 kit work on this trailer?

In order to use the E-Z Flex Triple Axle Suspension Kit part # K71-656-00 which is for a 33" axle spread, the center equalizer needs to be 5-1/4" and 6-1/4" long. If the center equalizer is longer than this then you will need to use shorter leaf springs to makeup the difference. The equalizer combo you have below is not standard so there aren't any direct fit options.

I have attached a list of our replacement leaf springs below as well.

Since your shackle straps are 2-1/4 inch for a wet bolt and heavy duty shackle kit you'd want the #MR46ZR which comes with bushings as well. You do not need new equalizers.
