- Equalizer Check: Confirm your current equalizer measures approximately 15.75" long.
- Spring Width: This kit is listed for 2.5" wide spring applications.
- Hardware Match: Compare bolt diameter, thread size, and length before installation.

R&P Repair Insight
Equalizer kits are commonly replaced during suspension rebuilds, axle service, or when worn hardware causes excess movement. If one side of the trailer suspension is worn, inspect both sides before ordering parts.
- Check for Wear: Look for elongated bolt holes, worn equalizer eyes, bent hangers, or loose hardware.
- Match Both Sides: Compare the suspension components on both sides of the trailer to confirm the correct kit style.
- Confirm Hardware: This kit includes both 1"-8 and 0.75"-10 hardware; verify your trailer uses these sizes.
