R&P Service Insight
Equalizer fitment is measurement-sensitive. Before replacing suspension parts, compare the removed equalizer and hardware directly against the listed measurements and included components.
- Measure First: Confirm the 23-1/2" equalizer length and 48-1/2" axle spacing before ordering.
- Confirm Spring Setup: This kit is for 2" wide slipper spring applications with a 5/8" spring eye hole.
- Check Hardware: The BOM includes the equalizer, wet bolt, lock nut, spring eye bolt, spring eye nut, spring retainer bolt, and spring retainer nut.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Intended for compatible Dexter-style heavy-duty slipper spring suspension setups using a 23-1/2" long equalizer, 48-1/2" axle spacing, 2" wide slipper springs, 1" center bolt hole, and 5/8" spring eye hole.
Vehicle / System Fit: Commonly used on heavy-duty trailer suspension systems with 9,000 lb axle applications where the equalizer and hardware dimensions match.
Installation Notes: Inspect the existing suspension for worn bushings, elongated holes, worn bolts, damaged springs, or hanger wear. Replace only after confirming all measurements and hardware sizes.
Performance Insight: The slipper spring equalizer helps transfer suspension movement between axle positions. Correct geometry and hardware fit are critical for proper suspension travel and load sharing.
