Purchased a Dexter EZ Flex kit from Nick's Truck Parts, part number K71-653-00.

The following is how I installed this kit as an experiment only, not intended as installation instructions. I'm confident there are safer methods used by RV/Trailer professionals.
Installed one side of the kit this morning and plan to install the other side of the kit tomorrow.
Connected the Ollie to the Tacoma and placed weight on the front jack:
Chocked both wheels with four chocks on the opposite side and put weight on that jack also:
Lifted the wheels off the ground on side for kit installation with on board Ollie jack. Also placed jack stand under Ollie frame in case of trailer jack failure:
Used a Craftsman ATV jack and with two 10' long 2X4s cut in half and screwed together to support both axles at the same time. Cut notches in the 2X4 beam to hold the axles in place, decided not use to the notches (axles did not fit perfectly), flipped the beam over and used the smooth side & worked OK.
Using the 5' long jack/beam with ATV jack to support both axles during project:
Removed shoulder shackle bolt and plastic bushing :
Replacing plastic bushing with bronze bushing in spring with bolt & nut pulling bushing into spring:
Bronze Bushing Installed:
Shackle bolt, bushing, and spring assembled with bolt grease outlet hole axis parallel to Ollie frame:
Removed shackle bolts and center pivot bolt for EZ Flex Equalizer installation:
All of the original Dexter bolts and plastic bushings were in good condition except for the center pivot plastic bushing, it was starting to wear through and fail. Our Ollie has about 9000 miles since new.
