Vertical Shackle Links After Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizer Install
Question:
Yesterday I installed a Lippert impact equalizer ... yellow The doubt is that I lowered 3 cm ... the trailer ... but what worries me the most is that the suspension separator flaches ... were totally vertical ... with the weight of the trailer. And the spring packages were more horizontal ... with this new system A 22.bf Jeyco jay Flight .. Is it normal ... or do they have to be a bit diagonal? For them to work

Expert Reply:
In regards to trailer shackle links, they should be at a 45 degree when loaded. If you recently upgraded to the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers part # LC279687 and the shackle links are no longer at a 45 degree angle. This is likely because the new equalizers are not the same size as the old. If there isn't another size you can use to correct this then you can make up whatever difference there was with shorter/longer shackle straps, I have attached our selection below.
If you can let me know you old equalizer dimensions, I'd be happy to confirm the correct Equa-Flex kit.
