    You can do a wet bolt kit but not the ez-flex part as the equalizer on our trailers is flat. Nobody makes one for that.

    Not all MM trailers. Some have the triangular equalizer.

    Do you know what makes a trailer get the triangular eq vs. flat eq?? I'm wondering if it has to do with rims sizes they come with?? I have the ol regular aluminum rims.

    I think you might be right. Also length of springs, etc. I was wondering if you could mess around with the shackle lengths, and use the Flex equalizer in place of the flat one. I had asked both trailersuperstore and Dexter if there was a way to make it work and they were clueless. Still think it could be made to work.

    Really have to measure your trailer parts and find a kit.

    I did the Equalizer and wet bolts 3 years ago and haven't looked back, pump grease in 2-3x year. It is the best thing that I've ever done for a trailer

    So you changed out the straight eq for the triangle eq?? Did it make any changes to the trailer ht., tire to fender dimension, etc??

    It will change the height if going from straight to triangle. The ones I bought are 1/2 taller and was told it will give me about 1/4” more tire to fender clearance.

    Mine is a 920, the trailer does sit maybe and inch higher. But it wasn't a big deal eliminating the flat Equalizer
