Trail Air Equa Flex

Anyone have a pair of the Trail Air Equa Flex that have been removed from their Redwood that are in good condition that you would want to sell? Can't afford the mor/ryde 4000 right now

They have not failed completely but they both have some rubber protruding outside of where rubber is housed and I have 2 never fail bushings that have failed, I have ordered the more/ryde heavy duty shackle kit.

The sre4000 is only like $350.00. If your replacing the bushings , now would be the time to do it all....
I will call my installer and see if my original set is still sitting around his shop. They have around 3K on them and only about 2 months....

Thank you, I appreciate your efforts to assist me. We purchased our 2013 36FL used in November 2014, I have no idea how many miles are on them. The dealer would not give a message to previous owners after we made the purchase that I wanted to ask them general questions about the unit. We have put about 1200 miles on it since we bought it.

My old ones are in the garage. Free to a good home. I'd guess 6000 miles on them.

My old ones are in the trash, they showed excessive wear in a pretty short time.

I'll go clean them up and look them over good and get back.

Now I will second the thought that if your going to do the shackles do it all. The sre4000 and the equa flex take different length shackles.

I just came in from the garage. In IMHO it would be wasting my time and your money to ship them to you. Unlike the sre the equa flex uses the Always Fail bushings throughout. All the pivots wobble. Nothing is tight.

If you can't afford the sre4000 now , the equaflex new is only $126.00.. That's with plastic bushings..
I personally would get the sre4000 now and when your swapping to the HD MorRyde shackles , just do it all... Trust me, you will feel the difference on the first tow.....

I went onto the Lippert site... But am not a fan of those equalizers.... I reached out to my installer to see if my almost new equalizers are still laying around... I am sure he will answer me in a day or so if you wanna wait .

I see them for ballpark $200. They are also pictured with bronze bushings.
