Just finished the road test of the "new system." Night and day difference. First, no creaks, moans, or groans from the suspension. Next is you don't feel any of the little bumps and holes. Smooths things right out. Mine was pretty easy, the trailer is less than two years old with Dexter axles, so everything was a match and not rusted up. I did find a couple of the nuts on the original installation not overly tight and a couple of bolts not completely seated in the serrations. I pretty much followed the methods outline. Did one side one day and the other a couple of days later. Pretty much took four hours per side--a little long, but I have a bad back and bad knee. I jacked up one side and put it on jack stands ahead of and behind the hanger brackets. After pulling tires, I did the front and back hangers first with a jack under each spring mount on each axle to adjust up and down. Aligned perfectly. Used HF press. Then pulled out equalizer and shackles. Again no problems. All bolts took grease, but I changed out zerks for 45 degree fittings so I could get at them with the tires on and not crawl under the trailer.
Was all pretty straight forward. Trailer is at same height it was before--shackles were the same length and equalizer was the same. This one gets, at least at this point, and A+++. I wouldn't have known about it or tackled it if it weren't for this post.
