Yes. You can use the Road Armor # LC696740 to replace your stock equalizers since both are 6" from side to side, but there's a chance that you may need a slightly shorter shackle strap because of the top bolt to side bolt measurement difference between these and your stock equalizers. Because it's a small difference of only about 1/2", it may not be necessary, but you'll want to install it and see how everything sits. If you need to go to a shorter shackle strap, you can use the Shackle Strap - 2" Long # TRSL200 to help even everything out.

The Road Armor kit does come with brass bushings, so those won't be needed; but if you need new wet bolts, you can use the Wet Equalizer Bolt with Locknut and Grease Zerk for Double-Eye Springs - 3-5/16" Long
Item # 126B2.
