Recommended Cushioned Equalizers for 2019 Forest River Wildwood X-Lite 271bhxl

Question

Question:

Id like to upgrade the equalizer on my 2019 Forest River Wildwood X-lite 271bhxl. I was ready to go with the Morryde CRE3000 but just found out that I need 3 1/2inch of clearance between the tire and the floor, which I dont have. Is there a cushioned equalizer, wet bolt kit, and shackle upgrade that will work for my trailer? Thanks in advance!

The Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit - Double-Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 6,000 lbs # K71-652-00 is the correct fit for your trailer. This kit will work very well for your 3,500 lbs axles with 33 inch on center spacing. This kit will give you the wet bolts and cushioned equalizer to give you a quieter and smoother ride.
