The Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # K71-448-00 will work with tandem-axle trailers with a 1-3/4 inch double eye spring. The equalizers are 4 inches tall and are 6 inches long from center-hole to center-hole. The shackle strap length is 2-1/4 inches from center hole to center hole.
