The 013-119-03-KIT is a Dexter-style slipper spring equalizer kit for heavy-duty trailer suspension applications using 9,000 lb axles, 2" wide slipper springs, and 48-1/2" center-to-center axle spacing. The kit is built around the 013-119-03 equalizer, which measures 23-1/2" long and includes a pressed-in center bushing, plus the related bolts and nuts shown in the BOM.
Equalizer fitment is measurement-sensitive. Before replacing suspension parts, compare the removed equalizer and hardware directly against the listed measurements and included components.
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.
Selling Brand / Application: Dexter-style trailer suspension equalizer kit.
Application Reference: Dexter references describe the intended suspension application and part-style compatibility. Verify the actual part number, measurements, and hardware before ordering.
