I can certainly point you in the right direction on a few of the parts you will need. Unfortunately we do not carry a 20-3/4" long equalizer, so we do not have any kits that would accommodate that hanger size and axle spacing. We do have a few hanger kits for 2" wide slipper springs like the # H202. This comes with 4-1/4" tall front hangers, 3-1/2" tall center hangers and 5-1/4" tall rear hangers. We do not have any hangers that are 7" tall.

We do have the Wet equalizer bolt # TRFA71063, and spring eye wet bolt # 126B2. We also have leaf springs for 8K axles like the # e37SR or # e39SR depending what length you need. Those would be the only components of this setup we can provide.
