Can Road Armor Equalizers Replace Dexter 13-104 Equalizers

Question

Question:

I want to upgrade my equalizer from the stock one ok my 2021 Cruiser MPG 2780RE. The current equalizer is Dexter 13-104 which has 5-3/4 inch spacing between eye holes and 2” vertical to center hanger hole. I know the dexter ez flex will work but was hoping to use the Road Armor.

Yes, you can replace your Dexter 13-104 equalizers - which are the Curved Equalizer for 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs - 5-3/4" Long # TREQ104 - with the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740.

The Road Armor # LC696740 have a spacing of 6 inches between the bolt holes, which is similar enough to the 5-3/4 inch spacing of your current equalizers that they'll work.

I highly recommend also replacing your leaf spring hardware, and the correct kit for the Road Armor is the Lippert AP Kit - Tandem Axle Road Armor Wet Bolts and Shackles # LC52SV.
