Recommended Cushioned Equalizers for 2021 Heartland RV North Trail Travel Trailer

Question:

Hello, I have a 2021 Heartland RV Northtrail Travel Trailer. I m looking to upgrade my equalizer and shackles along with the wet bolts. My axel Spread is 42 and looks like my equalizer is close to 14 3/4 bolt to bolt. The current equalizer on there is the dexter 13-142. The shackles are 2 1/4 from bolt to bolt. I was looking at the options out there and wondering if the MORryde 14-3/4 Shock Absorbing Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 42 Wheelbase - 8K - MR34AR or the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers - Double Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 5.2K - LC314336 is the better option. Also my axels are 4400lbs. I was wondering if the MORryde was to big then. Does it matter which one i use if i use the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 2-1/4 Long Shackle Straps - MR46ZR kit to go with it. I been back and forth and would like to go with the better option. Since the is only 1/8 difference between the kit would either one work. Thank you

The MORryde 14-3/4" Shock Absorbing Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers part # MR34AR will work great on a 2021 Heartland RV North Trail Travel Trailer and what I recommend using. They can then be combined with the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers part # MR46ZR for upgraded shackle straps and wet bolts. These equalizers are rated up to 8,000 lbs so they will work great on a set of 4,400 lb axles.
