Smoother Ride
I highly recommend these for a smoother ride on your trailer. Relatively simple to install. You will notice the difference right away. No more rattling in the hitch while towing, and that back-bounce in the tow vehicle. And RR tracks are so much smoother!

These should be stock on new trailers.
What a significant improvement in handling after install. Paired with new wet bolts and beefy shackles, these will outlast the trailer. A c-clamp was instrumental for the installation since it was essentially a press for the new sleeves and wet bolts.

What a difference!
I have a dual axle 6500lbs travel trailer. It came with a standard Y Equalizer and plastic bushings. Combined the Lippert Equa-Flex with a new bronze bushing and wet bolt kit.Install took about 4 hours. The hardest part was getting the old bolts off the hangars followed by squeezing the new bronze bushings in. The Equa-Flex comes with cheap plastic bushings and quite frankly you'd have to be an idiot to go through all the trouble of paying for the Equa-Flex upgrade and not also upgrade the bushings. There original plastic bushings on my equalizers were cracked and worn in one season of use (2500 miles).Regardless, the Equa-Flex difference is immediately noticeable once towing. No more thudding or that clunking feeling through the frame from the weight shifting pulling away or bumpy roads. Way smoother ride on the highway or around town. Expansion joints are so much smoother now.My next trailer will have this on at the dealer or I'm not buying it. Should be OEM on all dual and triple axle TTs!

Big Improvement in Trailer Ride, but Big Installation Job for this DIY'er
I installed the 4k-6k Equa-flex along with the MorRyde Wet Bolt Shackle Upgrade kit on my Outback 27RLS travel trailer (8K GVWR). This was the proper kit for my tandem axles, each having a weight rating of 5K. Now that it is complete, I am happy with the ride improvement of the trailer, which is much improved over the standard suspension with just a straight equalizer. I did the installation myself in my driveway, doing one side at a time, using two jackstands, a bottle jack for jacking the frame to place the stands, and two bottle jacks for the axles. Installation was a fairly big job, but the hardest part was not getting the old bolts and nuts off; it was setting the last bolt to attach the second leaf spring to the Equa-flex equalizer arm. I used PB Blaster to soak the old nuts overnight, then used an electric impact wrench which made short work of the rusty nuts, so removal of old hardware was pretty easy. Likewise, getting the new bronze bushings and new bolts in was pretty easy except for the final bolt. The problem is that the spring eyes don't match up perfectly with the Equa-Flex if you are replacing the standard 13-104 equalizer and keeping the same shackle length. The directions don't tell you this, and make it seem like the installation is very straightforward. I had to use a crowbar, a prybar, and a couple of wooden blocks to deflect the springs enough to get that last bolt in. No amount of axle jacking would result in the right amount of deflection and height to get the last spring eye to line up with the Equa-flex arm. I really wish the directions would have been more detailed and hadn't left it to me to figure out how to make the installation work. In the end, however, I did it and am happy with the final result.

Smoother Ride over bumps in the road
This did not take long to install. After installation, I drove home about 250 miles and you can definitely feel the difference with a smoother, less jerky ride when hitting bumps.

Good product
Got my equalizers in 2 days and installed them the same day they arrived easy installation and so far the product is exactly as described by the manufacturer, taking the trailer out this weekend to see if I can tell any difference when towing

No bolts or shackle plates are included! :-(
They want another hundred dollars for bolts and nuts and shackle plates! it’s a little bit too much for what you get. This was a replacement of the same original product installed on my travel trailer. The only option. The first set failed. How long will these last?? Time to sell the trailer.

So Far So Good
This was initially "a negative 5 on the 1 to 5 star review scale"..... Based on receiving one new and one obviously used and/or previously installed equalizer.Excellent no muss, no fuss return process! Good work Amazon.Equalizers look much better than originals shown in attached pics. Confused about the "mounting" hardware mentioned in the purchase listing. No such hardware included beyond what is shown. More to come once installed and road tested.

Need to specify on which axle size it fits
Well built product but not enough info in the description as to which wheelbase this fits. Measurements of distances between the anchor points should be added to the images to provide more details.

A quality product by Lippert Components.
I had Equa Flex equalizers when I bought my 5th wheel trailer. After 8 years and many miles I replaced the equalizers with Equa Flex. They fit like a glove even though they have been upgraded.

Semble être de qualité
Je voulais changer les ''boushing'' usé et j'en ai profité pour changer aussi le balancier et les écrous avec possibilité de les graisser et ceci pour améliorer la douceur de roulement. En 3 heures j'ai fait les 2 cotés sans me presser. je n'est pas mis les 5 étoiles du fait que je n'est pas encore tester le produit sur la route, (FW 30' 8000lbs ) . Mon seul bémol est la couleur du produit mais bon ...
