@kt3_haulingllc: If you pull a trailer of any type… Pay attention to the equalizer! #hotshot #owneroperator #themoreyouknow #trailer #lessonlearned

nomafab1 :

Those equalizers are only good for about 30k miles. That spacer black above the equalizer hanger should carry over to the end of the equalizer so it cant rock so far. i have many videos explaining all this. My Equlizers are rebuildable and will last at least 80k miles before an inspection is needed when using my hanger saver washers that Holt the head of the bolt and the nut. Mine also offer guaranteed proper axo clearance, so your axles do not hit the frame. yours won't with that spacer but most 7k and 8k axle setups do.

fl :

buy torsion axle trailers not leaf spring don't have to worrie about any of that hardware

Keith Reynolds78 :

Man that even that bad. I’ve seen them where they was almost wore threw the bottom of equalizer

Expedition X Offroad :

Here’s a pic for ya! I try to replace the equalizer, springs, and hardware every 20,000 miles now.

quiksilverhotshot :

Pre trip and maintenance is key but sometimes shit comes loose on these wonderful roads we drive on lol had this bolt come completely loose on my front lift axle and the same bolt same side on the rear axle was loose as well, trailer was dog tracking to the right horribly. Now my trailer is down for atleast a week or so until Diamond C can get the parts to them. Trailer is only 2 months old…

buckeyedreamz :

Shout out to you for helping my those new and still learning 🙏🏼

John Dresden :

I had to replace 4 of them 43.00 for each one

Ben :

Needs a bearing in there or something.Wonder if there are upgrades out there

Joshua Pitts :

That’s a great heads up, bro… I had it happen on one of my very first trailers and the bolts Waller so much took me three hours to get that thing out of there

Jim :

I almost like the idea of having them completely separate. Just a hanger for each side of the leaf spring

Craig Davis :

These trailers are not built for what we do. I take mine to my trailer guy every 3-6 months to replace equalizers and anything else that needs replaced. Yes, i could do this myself but id rather spend time with the family dirt biking or fishing. My trailer guy is top notch!! Anyway, there ya go! Lol

John Ebanks :

it was nice meeting you at the Fair in Callahan,Fl we were admiring the "wooden semi" keep it between the lines

Corey.h :

maybe you can answer this. Im a otr truck driver and all the time I see hotshots wrecked out on the interstate where the truck is facing backwards and jack knifed . typically is always single axle trucks with a gooseneck. ive never pulled one personally but is there a specific reason for this? maybe driver ignorance?

Rodney Loftis :

Good work bro, I like your content!🔥

littlemike54 :

have you ever seen the air ride equalizer that can replace that? looks kinda neat, but they are pricey.

American pressure wash :

That one’s actually not even that bad. I’ve seen them whole ovals instead of a round hole.

Blue Mountain Coach Lines :

Do you have an account kt3_has_that?

Sarah charlotte :

Same here exactly

User02231725 :

😭✌ I just checked mine

The snowman :

Trailer parts are super cheap for the load and abuse they endure

Rzwoj 🥓 🥓 🥓 :

I will be checking this in the morning. Been running the same gooseneck dually for 3 years now. Local loads about 150k on the trailer

Kraig Kilgore :

Any reason you got your straps on the driver side? I see most of them on the passenger
