If your current Lippert Equa-Flex equalizers are 2-7/8 inches tall and approximately 7-11/16 long center hole to center hole and uses 2-1/4 inch (also center hole to center hole) shackle links, the Dexter # K71-653-00 E-Z Flex suspension kit would work great for you. I've provided a photo showing the dimensions mentioned above.

If your equalizer and shackle links measure differently, please provide the height and length of your equalizer and the length of your shackle links and I'd be happy to make a recommendation.
