I recommend upgrading to our Dexter E-Z Flex Equalizer # K71-655-00. The rubber core minimizes chucking (back-and-forth movement) and helps to absorb road shock. It is a vast improvement over the standard Equalizer # TREQE1.

Be sure to check the Bushings # K71-291-00 on your leaf springs as they may need to be replaced as well. These bronze units are designed to last longer than the plastic ones that come with many springs.

2-3/4" Shackle Straps # TRSL275

9/16"x3-5/16" Wet Bolts # 126B2
