You may be able to use the E-Z Flex kit # K71-652-00. This kit fits if the tandem axle spacing is 33 inches and if the equalizers are # TREQ104 or have the same measurements.

Answer 6

Trailer manufacturers don't usually keep a record of parts like these that they install at the factory, so I cannot be sure as to the exact length of the shackle strap that would have come originally on your trailer. With this in mind, a 3-1/8…
