The big difference between the Equa Flex equalizer # LC145546 and the Dexter EZ Flex part # K71-652-00 is the dimensions as they basically provide the same cushioning. The EZ Flex has a distance between the mounting holes of 5-5/8 inch and the Equa Flex has 7-1/4 inches for that dimension.

The absolute best cushioned equalizer that fits the dimensions you mentioned having would be the MORryde ALLTREK 4000 part #MR89DR as this is only option to provide vertical and horizontal cushioning. This would make a big difference and you'd be…

Answer 7

I contacted MORryde and this does happen from time to time as the weight of the trailer can spread out the axles due to downward pressure on the springs/suspension. Odds are the 35" wheel base #MR27ZR will be the correct one for you, but they…

Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have are…

Answer 10

Yes, axle spread and wheel base by definition are the same measurements. You will measure from the center of one axle to the center of the 2nd axle to determine what you axle spread is. This may be difficult as some wheels and covers will make this…

Answer 11
