Product Details
Dexter 18-3/8" Equalizer – 2-1/2" Wide Slipper Springs – 10K General Duty Axles
Part Number: 013-140-03
Suspension equalizer designed for tandem or triple axle trailer systems using 2-1/2" wide slipper springs. Commonly used on Dexter 10,000 lb General Duty (GD) axle suspensions. This equalizer transfers suspension movement between axles to help maintain balanced load distribution. Equalizer only — hardware not included.
R&P Knowledge Hub
In a slipper spring suspension system, the equalizer pivots at the center hanger bolt and distributes road impact between adjacent axles. Equalizer length determines axle spacing and directly affects suspension geometry.
Before ordering, verify spring width (2-1/2"), center hanger bolt diameter (1"), spring eye bolt diameter (3/4"), and center-to-center axle spacing.
