Suspension Upgrades for AL-KO 5200# Axles
My 2011 Creekside 26BKS has a pair of AL-KO 5200# axles under it. As far as I know it has standard nylon bushings in the springs and equalizer and I would like to upgrade/eliminate them. I have around...

I will look at the info. I will be taking the weight off soon enough to install some Centramatic's on the TT. I have looked into some AL-KO info and a 34" spacing is listed as an option.
The equalizer is ~6.25" vs the normal 5.625" length on Dexter. I don't know if that effects the spacing, or if the shackles absorb the difference.
I would really like to install the EZ-Flex, but not if it will lower the trailer, I get into some pretty rough places where I am within 1/4" of dragging. At a minimum I will do wet bolts and new bushings.
They use the Trail Air's. I actually stopped by the local dealership today to look at some. All the new non-rubber ones are 6.25" between bolts on the equalizer and the rubber ones were 5.625".
I did also talk to ORV this morning and they couldn't tell me if they where compatible or not.

Outdoors RV puts rubber Equalizers on its higher end models. Not sure which brand. You might give them a call and see what they use and whether it would be a drop-in replacement.
