They state there is no change to the properties (which is somewhat atypical). I'm still doing some digging for their ESR (hopefully they have one). It may take some time to get in touch with them and dig that up.
If there is no change to the properties, then a triple 1-3/4" x 11-7/8" treated LVL will work.
