The Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 can be used on wheel bases of 33" or 35" and axles with a capacity between 3,500lbs and 8,000lbs. So you will be able to use these on your 2020 Artic Wolf 298LB fifth wheel camper. I do recommend using the Lippert AP Kit - Tandem Axle Road Armor Wet Bolts and Shackles # LC52SV in place of your current bolts and shackles as these wet bolts will allow for the equalizer and springs to flex and work smoother.

You may need two of the Bronze Bushing Kits # K71-291-00 to replace the nylon bushings in your leaf springs if they came with nylon. I recommend using the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390 with the Grease Gun # L30416 to fill the wet bolts. The flexible hose allows you to more easily reach the heads of the bolts without removing the wheels and tires.

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…

To find the load capacity for your axle you should look on the trailer VIN plate or sticker that lists the VIN number. The weight rating of the axle should be listed on that same plate or sticker. Also, the axle could have a tag or plate on it that…

Answer 9

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…

Answer 10

Answer 12

Well shackle length is mainly based on the height difference between the front and rear hangers. The rear hanger normally doesn't hang as low as the front so that the shackle can offset the difference and add the ability to move. What is the…
