RED E-Z FLEX TANDEM DE 8000 LB MAX EQUALIZER ONLY

The Dexter Red E-Z Flex Tandem Equalizer K71-655-06 is a trailer suspension component designed for tandem-axle trailers with up to an 8,000 lb axle capacity. Its primary function is to improve ride quality, reduce road shock, and equalize load transfer between trailer axles.

Main Function

Instead of using a standard steel equalizer between leaf springs, the E-Z Flex system uses a rubber-cushioned equalizer core that flexes during towing. This helps:

• Absorb bumps and road vibration
• Reduce stress on the trailer frame and cargo
• Minimize chucking and harsh suspension movement
• Improve tire contact and axle equalization on uneven roads
• Reduce wear on suspension components

Dexter states the E-Z Flex system can reduce acceleration forces transmitted to the trailer frame by up to 80% compared to conventional equalizers.

How It Works

The equalizer sits between the front and rear leaf springs of a tandem axle trailer. As one axle moves upward over a bump, the equalizer pivots and compresses its internal rubber core, distributing force more smoothly to the second axle.

This allows:

• Better axle articulation
• Smoother towing
• Less bouncing inside the trailer
• Reduced suspension shock loads

Included Components

The kit/equalizer assembly typically includes:

• Red E-Z Flex equalizer assemblies
• Press-in bolts
• Lock nuts
• Grease packets
• Installation instructions

Trailer owners commonly report:

• Smoother towing
• Less porpoising/bouncing
• Better cargo stability
• Reduced suspension noise

Several RV users on Reddit said upgrading to E-Z Flex made a “world of difference” in ride smoothness and reduced items shifting inside the trailer.
