To know if the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit - Tandem Axle - Qty 2 # LC696740 will fit your 2017 Coachmen Apex UL 275BHSS travel trailer you'll just need to measure the distance from center hole to center hole of your current equalizers. As long as you're within a half inch of the 6" distance on these it will work for your trailer.

To find the correct shackle and wet bolt kit you will need to measure the distance from center hole to center hole of your current shackles. Typically for this size equalizer a 2-1/4" distance like the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 2-1/4" Long Shackle Straps # MR46ZR is going to be the correct fit.
