The MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers # MR27ZR would be a great addition to your horse trailer and I highly recommend them. These are designed for any tandem-axle trailer like yours with a 35" wheelbase and work with up to 8,000 lb axles.

Installing the CRE3000 on your horse trailer will provide you and your horses with a more comfortable ride while reducing stress on your trailer frame. These have up to 3" of up-and-down travel which gives your trailer the ability to compensate for different types of terrain. Since you will be replacing the equalizers, it is also a good time to upgrade your shackles and bolts.

I recommend the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers for heavy duty shackles and wet bolts. You will need to measure your current shackles to determine which kit is right for you. If you have 3-1/8" long shackle straps you need the # MR76ZR and for 2-1/4" long shackle straps the correct kit is the # MR46ZR.

I have attached some review videos for your reference.

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…

For a kit that comes with upgraded heavy duty shackles, bushings, and wet bolts that are the size you are looking for you'd want the MORryde part #MR46ZR and you'd be set. This would work great on your 5,200 lb axle setup.

The MORryde #MR87ZR itself doesn't feature grease zerks, so you're likely referring to the bolt holding the equalizer in place, referred to as a wet bolt. If you're certain that the grease gun is working correctly, it's possible that…

You should be able to get the nylon bushings out fairly easily. In the worst case scenario, you can use an old 5/8 inch bolt or piece of round bar stock and punch the bushing out. The bronze bushings can be pounded in with a mallet or a hammer. If…

The hangers you currently have on your trailer are ones I have run into before. That being said, I spoke with MORryde and the #MR27ZR will still fit your trailer, but there is a modification that will need to be made. You’ll have to trim according to…

The length Dexter posts for their leaf springs is the flattened length, so with the 072-042 having a length of 26" you would want to compare that to our 25-1/4" long springs as we measure their length with the spring relaxed. The 3-Leaf…
