Hi Tom; do you know what wheelbase you have? Or the dimensions of your equalizer? That would be needed in order to get you the right upgrade without affecting your ride height.

@Tom Is it at all possible it is a 35 inch wheelbase? This would be measured from center to center of the wheels; I ask because 35 is the most common, and there isn't an upgrade specifically for 36 inches. If it is 35 you can use the MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 35" Wheelbase - 8K # MR27ZR with MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 2-1/4" Long Shackle Straps # MR46ZR or 3-1/8" Long Shackle Straps # MR76ZR. If it is 36 inches the next step would be to measure your equalizer's width from center to center of its bolt holes and we can try and find a match that way.

Hey Patrick, so for your leaf spring upgrade I am going to need to know a couple of things before I can get you over to the right part. Specifically, the length from eye to eye, the spring width, leaf thickness, and the number of leaves. From here I…

Answer 6

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…

Answer 10

Finding the correct MORryde equalizer kit will be pretty specific, so I cannot tell you which will be correct without knowing the wheel spacing and axle capacity, unfortunately. With that being said, if you have the trailer's VIN, you may be able…

Answer 11

You will definitely want to go with the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit #LC696740 over the MORryde as the Road Armor has more travel and will provide a smoother ride. Then, in regards to shackle straps I'm not sure what you mean by which…
