Thanks.
Have you measured your axle centers? That will determine which kit will fit your WW. There are 2 kit, 33" axle center and 35" axle center.

Looks like the difference is this one doesn't include all the parts?

I thought mine were 31" on center? I'll have to measure this weekend.
Did they come blue or did you paint them?

That kit is just for the EZ Flex upgrade from a standard equalizer and does not include the shackles and related parts.

GREAT kit, just did one side today, other will get done tomorrow. Thanks for posting this, I was on the fence as to doing my bearings this weekend but sure glad I did. I'm sure the shackles would have failed on the next trip or so if I hadn't looked at them. Now I'm bullet proof with the EZ-Flex, well worth the dough.

nayther, Now that you have them, don't forget to grease the zerks twice a year!

I have AL-KO axles. Will the Dexter E-Z Flex fit the same? My axles are at 35".

Don't forget about the big picture.
Having a California Non-Commercial Class A License trains you to do a Pre-trip Inspection.
Cudos for the OP.

Thanks 2BluHeelers, was wondering how often to check them. I greased them a bit after installation and will check all the bolts after our short trip next weekend and maybe give them another shot of grease after they've worked around a little.
What a great looking setup though!
I don't see how they think the OEM setup will last on the heavier two axle haulers like mine and can't imagine what some of the larger tandem 5ers look like. In fact have a friend with a 36' tandem with slides and I know he's had tire trouble due to excessive wt. gonna make sure he checks his shackles, etc.
