Hi John,

When replacing your equalizers it's best to match the bolt hole spacings to prevent having to switch out/alter your other suspension components to fit the new spacing. You'll need to measure the horizontal distance between the shackle strap bolt holes and the vertical distance from the hanger bolt hole down to the center of the shackle strap bolt holes. Let me know what measurements you have on the current equalizers and I'd be happy to look for the correct fit.

@John The closest MORryde equalizer to your current sizing is the # MR27ZR. It has a horizontal measurement of 8" and vertical measurement of 3-1/2" so it's going to be slightly larger than your current equalizer. The extra 1/8" on each side would be within tolerance but you could possibly need to swap out the shackle straps to deal with the extra 3/4" of height. This you'll have to test in person though to see if the shackle straps are forming a 'W' with the equalizer or if longer straps will be needed.
