The main difference between the Equa-Flex # LC279688 and Road Armor # LC696740 is the placement of the rubber cushions. The Road Armor places the cushions above and below the mounting arm for the shackles while the Equa-Flex only has the cushions on the load side of the mounting arm. This leads to a better ride quality as less shock is transferred through the suspension. Everyone I know who has made this change has been very happy with the Road Armor equalizer. The 4" versus 3-1/2" height and 7-1/2" versus 6" width will not create an issue for installation on your 2020 Grand Design Solitude 310GK.

I do recommend changing out to the stronger MORryde shackle kits when you make the switch. These use thicker steel which is far less prone to stretching. We have them for either a 2-1/4" # MR46ZR or 3-1/8" # MR76ZR long shackle strap. This measurement is from bolt hole center to bolt hole center on your current shackle straps.

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…

You will want to use the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers #LC279687 on your Forest River Cherokee Artic Wolf 23MLE 5th wheel. These equalizers are much closer to your 6-1/8" spread at 5-1/2". They are also designed for the lighter axles you…

Yes, axle spread and wheel base by definition are the same measurements. You will measure from the center of one axle to the center of the 2nd axle to determine what you axle spread is. This may be difficult as some wheels and covers will make this…

I'd be happy to help, but you're going to need to measure the current equalizers on your 2021 Keystone Hideout 29DFSWE to confirm that the MORryde #MR87ZR are going to fit. The #MR87ZR measure 6-1/2" center to center of the horizontal…

The absolute best cushioned equalizer that fits the dimensions you mentioned having would be the MORryde ALLTREK 4000 part #MR89DR as this is only option to provide vertical and horizontal cushioning. This would make a big difference and you'd be…
