I spoke directly with Dexter, manufacturer of the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System, # K71-653-00. These kits are indeed made in the U.S.A. We carry 3 different kits and I have included a link to them for you along with a link to our FAQ article on double-eye trailer suspension.

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…

That depends; what you want are leaf springs that measure (center eye to center eye) slightly shorter than your current springs because they elongate over time and use. So it's actually better to go with 1/4" shorter springs than what yours…

The 5 leaf spring part #e34SR would be the best choice since a bit more fender clearance is desired. This will match right up to your trailer and will work well. As long as you pick out the correct dimension EZ flex to replace the equalizers on your…

Both the MORryde Rubber Equalizers #MR87ZR and Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit #K71-652-00 are achieving the same result. They are doing so with slightly different designs but end up with the same result. I recommend using the Dexter E-Z Flex…

The MORryde SRE4000 Equalizers part #MR47ZR and Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit part #K71-653-00 are both great options. The MORryde option does not come with as much as the Dexter option, the wet bolts and shackles are separate, part #MR46ZR or part…
