view full answer...The equalizers of the part #AP233 have bushings in them already. The leaf springs you would use these with would already have bushings as well most likely. Typically people do not need to buy bushings with this kit or with this kit plus leaf…
view full answer...You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…
