Putting a new pair of Axles and springs on my lengthened trailer. I have a load leveler for in the middle, but not a 100% on installation. I think I put both shackles to the middle, and no shckle on the center hole of the leveler. Anyone gotta pic so I do this right?

According to the Axle Equalizer Safety Alert

grease your leaf spring equalizer assembly every six months.

I'm not sure because I never dealt with them but that’s what I get from the article.

Its true , they will cause your axles to ride all weird if the bolts arent kept greased up and they get to where they bind up. I went thru three new trailer tires on one side on my enclosed gooseneck before I figured it out :oops: .

I dont think they are any problem as long as you take care of them. I've had no problems with them on my car trailer or camper, the trailer I had a problem with is old and had not been maintained at all.
