Just finished installing the Dexter E-Z Flex kit with wet bolts on my 5th wheel and have to say everything is much heavier than what came off the camper. Start to finish 4 hours and seemed like most of that was getting all 4 wheels off the ground. Now I can't wait to see if it makes a difference in the squeeking at slow speeds allready had shocks and could not complain about the ride before as nothing ever moved around inside. Just wanted to say for anyone looking that the Dexter is nice and shipping was quick and price seemed fair at $149 internet special.

Did ours a few weeks ago and like you said getting it off the ground and stable takes more time than the actual job.

Did you guys get more ground clearance as it lifted your trailer some inch or two?

I put mine on a year ago and saw no differance in height. This was one of the reasons I bought it'I was hopping for it to raise my camper.

Mine go on tomorrow! I have already had it all apart about a month ago to drop the springs and shackles into the next lower position to get more height. When I had it apart I noticed the plastic bushing were worn pretty bad, so, ez-flex next!

This

replaces

and this

replaces this

They both do the same thing but replacing with the wrong one may raise or lower your trailer slightly.

I went from the one on bottom right to top left and lowered mine slightly. Going from top right to bottom left will raise the trailer.

I started blocking mine up about a yr. ago while stored in hopes of saving the tires and I got that procedure down to a science. I did the ezflex./wetbolt change in 2 hours. Craig
