R&P Service Insight
Equalizers are geometry-sensitive suspension parts. A small mismatch in equalizer length, bolt size, spring width, or hanger placement can change axle spacing and suspension travel.
- Measure First: Confirm the existing equalizer length before removing the old part.
- Match the Spring: This kit is for 2" wide slipper spring applications.
- Check Hardware Wear: Inspect bolts, bushings, hangers, and spring eyes any time the equalizer is being replaced.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Best matched by part number, overall equalizer length, spring width, bolt diameters, and axle spacing.
Vehicle / System Fit: Slipper spring trailer suspension applications using a 17-3/8" style equalizer and 2" wide slipper springs.
Installation Notes: Support the trailer safely, unload suspension tension as required, and verify all hanger and spring contact points before final assembly.
Performance Insight: The equalizer pivots between axles to transfer movement through the suspension. Correct geometry helps maintain intended load transfer and suspension travel.
Brand & Fitment Note
Selling Brand: Dexter equalizer kit configured with the listed suspension hardware.
Application Reference: Dexter and part number references are used for fitment identification and part matching.
What This Means: This listing is for one 013-118-03-KIT equalizer and hardware kit. Match by the listed measurements and included components before ordering.
Before Ordering: Verify equalizer length, axle spacing, spring width, hanger layout, bolt diameters, and existing part numbers.
R&P Repair Insight
Slipper spring equalizers are commonly replaced when the equalizer, pivot hardware, bushing area, or spring contact surfaces show wear. Do not assume all 2" slipper spring equalizers interchange by spring width alone.
- Length Check: Confirm the old equalizer measures approximately 17-3/8" overall.
- Bolt Check: Confirm the center connection and spring-eye connection match the listed 1" and 5/8" hardware sizes.
- System Check: Inspect the center hanger, front/rear hangers, springs, and opposite-side equalizer for uneven wear.
