How to Lift a 2009 DRV Mobile Suite 5th Wheel w/ Equa-Flex Equalizers

Question:

Hi, I own a 2009 DRV Mobile Suites 5th wheel RV that has the Trailair Equa-Flex tandem axle suspension. Are there any components like shackles that I can upgrade to raise my trailer? Also, Id like to replace the shocks on this suspension. Do you know what part number I need? Thanks for you assistance

It sounds like you have the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279688 on your 5th wheel. There are not any shackles to use to raise your trailer, but we do have the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # RR23QX which can raise your trailer by 1-1/4" or 2-1/4".

I am also a little unsure as to what shocks you would need or if you may have meant the leaf springs themselves because shocks would not be common for the suspension on a 5th wheel. I would need a little more information on either to make a recommendation. If you do have shocks, please send in a picture of the label or let me know what shocks that you have and I can recommend a replacement.

If you did mean the leaf springs I would need to know the distance of your current leaf springs from center-to-center of the spring eyes and also the weight rating of your axle to recommend a suitable replacement.
