Today we're going to show you how to install the Dexter Axle E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System, part number K71-652-00. Here's what it's going to look like when we get it installed. As you can see we've replaced that solid steel equalizer with one that's got a really nice heavy duty rubber bumper in here. That's going to help to absorb a lot of the shock that we're going to feel going into the frame of our camper, and then up into the contents that we've got inside. This also helps to reduce any noise that we get from our suspension system. Let's face it, they're pretty noisy all the time, but with the brass bushings that we're now going to have in our spring eyes, and our lubrication points at each of our bolt, we're really going to be able to get this thing nice and quiet while we're headed down the road. This is going to include all the hardware that we need to do our tandem or triple-axle trailers, whatever combo you need.

As you can see, we've got our replacement bolts, and also shackles on each side, which are much heavier duty than the ones that we've had originally. Here you can see our factory equipped equalizer. You can see both of our springs are going to come up though the shackles, and they connect to that. This is going to keep equal spacing, and it also gives us a little bit of a pivot point back and forth here on this main bolt here. These do a great job of keeping the axles separate, keeping everything moving down the road.

They can be a bit noisy, and also they offer no shock absorption. Let's get these taken off. We're going to remove this bolt, this bolt, and this bolt. We can get our new ones in place. Now it's time to knock our old bushings out of our ends of our spring, or spring eye here. We're going to be replacing them with our new brass bushings.

You can see they're going to sit right in there. We'll do that for both of our spring eyes here. We'll also pull our front most bolt here. You can see our old bolts will work great as a driver to where we can drive those in if necessary. We'll bring that back up, and we're going to bring in one of our new bolts. As you can see, these are going to have a grease zerk in the end, and a small outlet there.

It's going to allow us to grease our pivot points here, and keep everything running nice and smooth, and nice and quiet. Then we'll thread one of our locking nuts onto the back side there, and just leave it loosely installed for now. We'll go up and take care of the front spring now. We can bring our new equalizers in, slide that in, and here we're going to use one of our silver bolts. On the back of that it's going to be one of our gold lock nuts. We can slide in one of our shackles at the bolts, they're already going to be there. Then we'll take our shackle for our other side, and that's going to slide on, and then put a lock nut on the backside. We've got that secure, let's get our other one taken care of. We'll slide our other side through now. You may have to, like we did here, drop one of your bolts, either the back or the front. We dropped this one out to give us just a little bit of room to drop the axle enough to get it lined up. Then, of course, that backing plate goes on, and then two more of our silver locking nuts. Now it's time to go through and secure all of our hardware. We'll go through and get all of our hardware torqued down. The torque specs you can find in your instructions. We'll also take care of our center bolt there. We have our fittings lubricated up here, that way we'll have a nice, smooth, quiet running system. We're going to clean up our grease zerks there, get our tires back on, and just going to do the exact same thing over on the other side of the trailer. With everything torqued down to specification that's going to complete our installation of the Dexter Axle E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System, part number K71-652-00. .
