First of all, thanks very much for all that specific info, it was extremely helpful. Let's go ahead and and start with the equalizer upgrade, and for your 33 inch axle spacing, the best option are the MORryde rubber equalizers with their suspension upgrade kit. The equalizers give you 3" of travel so smooth out the ride, and the upgrade kit gives you the greaseable bolts and thick shackle straps. The correct parts are the following:

- MORryde Rubber Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 33" Wheelbase # MR87ZR

- MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers # MR46ZR

As for the 26" leaf springs, what you need is the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e94SR.

The only part we can't give you right away is the axle because to choose the correct replacement axle you will need to know the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center; I have added a link below to a video which walks you through how to measure.

I believe you have 5,200 lb or 6,000 lb axles (which you will need to verify by checking out the label/sticker directly on the axle), so for example, the 5,200 lb Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # 6340624 measures 95 inches from hub face to hub face and 80 inches from spring center to spring center. For mounting it you would need the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles # APUBR-8.

I have added a link below to our entire selection of axles for you to come back to once you know the exact length you need.
