The Dexter E-Z Flex Equalizer Kit # K71-652-00 is designed to work on trailers with up to 6,000lb axles so with your 5th wheel having a 10K weight these should be what you need. You will need to verify your current equalizer is between 5-1/4" and 6-1/4" in length on center for the leaf spring shackle mounting holes. If your equalizer is wider than this you will want to use the Kit # K71-653-00.

The 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring #e27SR is 2-1/4" thick at the thickest part of the spring pack(not including center pin). Each of the 6 leaves are 3/8" thick. If you are mounting this to a 3" axle you will want the U-Bolt Kit #CE23003,…

Thanks for the pictures! Since your 2022 Grand Design Reflection 303RLS came with the CRE3000 equalizers you will need three of the MORryde X-Factor Crossmember item #MR33WR. It looks like you have the standard 3" wide frame hanger so all of the…

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…

Answer 5

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…

Answer 8

Well shackle length is mainly based on the height difference between the front and rear hangers. The rear hanger normally doesn't hang as low as the front so that the shackle can offset the difference and add the ability to move. What is the…

Answer 9

The hangers you currently have on your trailer are ones I have run into before. That being said, I spoke with MORryde and the #MR27ZR will still fit your trailer, but there is a modification that will need to be made. You’ll have to trim according to…
