RR-40 Finds - Flex Equalizer Systems

Item: Flex equalizer systems are the subject of the hour and may have originated for the RV builders in Elkhart .

But these systems will likely find use in other applications that need to protect the cargo and load from too much motion.

This familiar Ez-Flex system is greaseable and in a replacement or upgrade situation will be a direct exchange of an existing equalizer.



The Joyrider system now resides in each of three rationalized catalogs for the Drawtite, and Hidden Hitch and Reese dealers. Sometimes one dealer is all three from past association. But the umbrella title for all is now "Hitch-Pro" dealers.
The "Joyrider" could directly replace an equalizer but not as serviceable and a throw away. The kit hanger straps are lighter and has no wet bolts.





Here is a monster system and good luck in replacing this system. This Mor-Ryde is an O.E. installation that is directly welded to the chassis and the springs attach directly to shackles clad in a compounded rubber block. Upgrades look to be difficult and replacements are actually a conversion.

These are showing up at the RV dealers now but will likely migrate to other tube axle applications. Check in with your RV dealers and show the Ez-Flex as an alternative replacement for the others.
