Dexter E-Z Flex

I installed the Dexter K71-652-00 E-Z Flex on my 2011 Copper Canyon FW273RET (GVWR 10,400 with 2 4400# axles) just after our first trip in it. I was very pleased with the improvement in the ride in the truck and the trailer seemed to be more stable on rough roads.
I did the install myself because I had the jacks, stands and tools to do the install. I did hook up the fiver to the truck to give it more stability while I was doing the install.
After 2-3 years (35-40K miles) the rubber cushions began to look worn, I called Dexter they sent me new kits and $50 for labor since I did the replacement myself.
The wet bolts came with the kits, I believe and as a previous post said, the shackles are almost twice as thick.
