Good product bad packaging

Just installed them on my 16ft cargo trailer. But something seems wrong to me. I thought they should look more like a "W" once installed. The trailer seems to be going well. I don't know if I screwed up somewhere or what. Seems to be a good product as others have said the packaging is terrible. Anyone know why they look like this? I expected them to engage once the wheels were on the ground, but they didn't.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

A++ update! best on shocks, struts and suspension

Trailer feels and pulls much softer. On my first ride after installation, a friend followed me and remarked on how smooth the trailer was. The tires, and now the suspension, absorbed the bumps in the road, but the trailer stayed flat and smooth. Much less content movement. Great upgrade! The trailer doesn't have shock absorbers, I've thought about adding them as well, but I'm not sure if it would be necessary now or worth the cost.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Cons

Dexter doesn't help through Revane.

Missing parts. In my kit I was missing 1 wet bolt, 1 nut and 1 bushing. My fault is that I didn't count, I just love using the product. Contacted Dexter and they said they couldn't help me. If I want to return, I have to take everything apart and send it back. Seems like a lot of work for $5 in installments. I'll visit my local dealers and see if they can help. Dexter has no help right now. Disappointed to say the least.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not the best

Big upgrade over stock suspension.

The materials used in this product are far superior to standard parts. Everything looks like it was built to last. The caravan seems to drive smoother with less bounce. Installation was pretty quick once we got the first page out of the way. Total assembly time without prior knowledge 2.5 hours. Two floor jacks are very helpful when leveling parts, and pneumatic tools speed up the work. The only drawback: leveling mirrors can make access with tires difficult. A grease gun with a flexible hoseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

Replacement parts are much better

The price of the kit was great. Installation took about two hours. (I'm a technician by trade) requires tools some may not have. Loud clicking and suspension squeaks on our RV are gone. Also is it more stable? It's hard to tell as the fifth wheel is very stable anyway and I'm towing a 12,500 GVW fifth wheel with a 2021 Dual Ram. Of course. It's really nice to be able to grease the screws and when I pulled out the pedi bushings to install these bronze ones the pedi bushings were worn in placesโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Hard to tell

You need it. in Parts

I put these on my 5400lb 24ft Keystone Bullet TT. The driving improvement is excellent. Less bounce, less noise, less wobble and better cornering. The only reason for deducting a star is that no lubricant was used on a fitting. I pulled it out and found that the hole wasn't drilled far enough to reach the side hole where the grease comes out. I rebored it a quarter inch and it's fine now. Apply lubricant to each screw before installation to ensure they function. The packaging was smaller than I

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Easy replacement is best for stabilizers

I bought this kit to replace my 18 year old and worn out parts on my boat trailer. I liked that there is a rubber bushing to reduce suspension shock. The set arrived quite quickly. I went through the kit and found that the bronze bushing was missing and one of the caliper grease fittings was broken. I couldn't get just a bronze bushing and nipple as a replacement so I had to send the whole set back while they sent me a new set. Lost a week of downtime waiting for parts. Eventually a replacement

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Some minor things

A very complex facility. Bad customer service.

This kit was installed on my 2006 Fleetwood Gearbox 220FB. This is a toy dump truck with a gross vehicle weight rating of 11,000 pounds. Axes and Dexter components. The OEM plastic bushings have started to wear out at the three leaf spring lugs. The stock EQ's plastic sleeve is completely gone by about 20% of the circumference. Since the OEM equalizer was thrown in the trash, it didn't cause any of the installation issues I had. Some of my installation issues may be from the leaf spring eraโ€ฆ

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
