To determine if the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 will work on your 2007 Coachmen Travel Trailer you will need to take a couple measurements on your existing equalizers. These upgraded units have a width of 6 inches from hole to hole, on center, and a height of 3-1/4 inches from the two bottom holes to the top hole.

If your current equalizers match these specs then they will work perfectly to not only replace what you have but to provide a much improved ride as well.

If you have different measurements then you may still be able to use these but you would likely need to replace some additional components such as the shackle straps to maintain a proper suspension setup. If you can tell me the measurements you take I will be happy to recommend what you will need or suggest a different upgrade kit that might work better.

I have included a short video review on this system that you can check out as well.

My 2019 Coachman travel trailer has a 15 inch, from spring hole to spring hole. Is there a an equalizer wth that spec.?

@DonT Those are some big equalizers. For an upgraded unit, closest match we have is the MORryde # MR34AR, which measure 14-3/4" center to center on the holes. If you just need a standard replacement, the Dexter # K13-142-02 has the same dimensions. Do you know what the axle capacity on the Coachman is?

@ChrisR I do believe that MoRyde will work. I have the dexter equalizer onit now, so if I am looking at the measurements correctly thr MR will give my trailer an inch and a half lift as well? Is the Dacromet coating worth the extra $$? Coachman Freedom Express Axle is dexter 3500#,3" tube Also want to replace shackles and bolts. What your opinion on the Sumo Springs?
