Question:
Shouldn’t this kit come with 6 bushings instead of just 4? It has six wet bolts. 2023 Coachman Apex Nano 187RB

Great question, Brian!
The bushings that fit on the bolts for the shackle straps tend to wear out a bit faster than the ones that connect your leaf spring directly to a hanger which is why there are only 4 bushings in the Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit for Single Axle Trailers # K71-358-00.
If you wanted to get 2 additional of the bushings that come in this kit then the part # D014-077-00 is the exact same bushing so you just need to order 2 of them as well.

Yes, but the top bolt on the shackle side will not accept a bushing unless the hole in the frame mount is drilled out to 11/16" If you don't do this, the supplied "wet" bolt is useless.
