What's wrong with the Road Armor? Is it broke or rubber torn up? Not sure the Dexter is an upgrade or any better than what you have?
Both systems are rubber mounted so essentially the the same type piece.
I bought the MorRyde heavy shackle/wet bolt kit, came with 1/2" thick shackles, new wet bolts for all spring ends & bronze bushings for all & a couple spares, great product, great company, money well spent.

My looks fine, it clunks a lot backing up , it has no wet bolts . is the Dexter EZ flex a better set up ?

I have no experience with the Dexter.
My last 2 RVs had the Lippert system similar to yours prior to calling it Road Armor & had no issues. If I were to have upgraded it would been with the MorRyde 3000 or 4000, which ever was the appropriate fit, but the OEM was still in good shape 60k miles later when I sold it as were the MorRyde shackles & wet bolts.

You might talk to Performance Trailer Braking in Norman Oklahoma. They should be able to advise you, sell the right parts, and come install it if wanted.

You might talk to the folks Brent listed above. I have no experience with the EZ Flex other than watch videos of it in use. I'm not sure I see how that little rubber cylinder does much from watching it work but maybe it does?

If you haven't, you might look into the MorRyde suspensions. They work in a different manner and from my experience(s) they're tough to beat. Just had the LRE4000 put on this trailer and completed my first trip with it (about 7-800 miles). I removed a Road Armor as well because the ride seemed harsh (at least harsher than my last trailer with the MorRyde). No clunking when backing up (is everything tight?) but would transfer a lot of "hits" into the trailer looked like to me. After this trip I am very pleased with it and the trailer looks like it's "floating" vs jolting.
