    Did anyone else have issues like this? I will be installing the kit and I'm wondering if I should be prepared for this or not. I have steel fenders.

    I did not do the ezflex version and had to get a 6.25" center price rather than The 3" equalizer, you should be able to know what your ordering to replace what. There are measurements for both. If your not capable to figure out the right parts, just take it to a shop and have them do it

    I am not seeing that issue? Does he have the right equalizer? I know on 2019s the trailer sat lower, there would be no way I could fit the wheels I have on now. My 21 sits higher off the axles, not sure when they made that change.

    Yes I have the right equalizer. It matched the oem perfectly. My guess is the 19 already sat low and did not have much clearance.

    I ordered the whole kit and plan to install this weekend. I'll take before and after measurements of the tire clearance.

    My 18 z21 sits low and the wheels rub inside the wells when dumping the boat in or taking it out. I might space my fenders just to get rid of that annoyance.

    I installed the kit this weekend on my Z19 and the ride height did not change.

    Is it the same kit regardless of which Nitro trailer you have? 2017 Z21.

    Got a few miles on the trailer now, and its almost completely quiet, and seems to ride very good behind the truck.

    I just installed these on my trailer also and do not notice any ride height change. It shouldn't have changed unless the shackles are shorter or you got the wrong pivot section. Mine all matched what I took off in dimensions.

    How the ez flex works is it allows the pivot to get shorter when it hits a bump. This will allow your tire to go up higher. If your clearance was close before like the 19 z18 with glass fenders is, you will have contact over bumps. metal fenders always had more clearance then the glass so they should not be a problem and I believe the 20 and 21’s started getting a bit more spring under them but I am not sure if that applies to all. Just be aware and paula attention a long road trip on to tight of clearance and you will burn through the glass.
