suspension problems
Okay, so I will try to make this as short and to the point as I possibly can. I recently purchased a used 2013 Forest River XLR Thunderbolt fifth wheel toy hauler. I must say it is a massive upgrade...

Dexter shows two different length equalizers, and which one you need is determined by the axle spacing.
Shouldn't the equalizers be the same dimension eye-to-eye?
Also, I've had a spring shop put the wrong spring in my rig. Maybe when he got his springs replaced, they put in two different sizes.
I did the spring change out and I did not change equalizers, or shackles. Only the springs, bolts and U-Bolts. I did not measure hanger to hanger, but I will tonight. My measurements are axle center to axle center. The equalizers were measured center eye to center eye.
According to the spec sheet from Dexter, for a triple axle, the spacing from axle center to axle center should be 35 inches.
