Hello again!
Well my tires are on the way (I posted the "Help-need tires!) posting last weekend. Now I'm thinking about possibly changing out my stock equalizer "triangle". I figure if I have to go through all this jacking up stuff, I may as well go all the way.
There are two brands I have looked at, Dexter EZ Flex and TrailAir. The Dexter is on sale, the entire kit with the "wet" (greasable) bolts, for $150. The TrailAir goes for $250, plus another $50 for the wet bolts. So at twice the price, why the difficult decision?
The measurements of my Zinger ZT25RK original setup means that if I install the Dexter, it will lower the trailer by about 1". Dexter has a note for that, and recommends making sure that by doing this I will not have too little "bump clearance"....the clearance between the axle and the frame. The Trailair does not mention anything about this at all.
I should mention that I am a machinist, doing a mod like this doesn't intimidate me, and I have a good understanding of how things work mechanically. I am not a millionaire by any means, but the difference in price does not mean more to me than the issue of safety or possible future damage.
Has anyone any recommendations between the two systems? Has anyone put the Dexter on the 25RK Zinger or had them installed?
Thanks again in advance, Dave
