Question:

I need a kit with the same parts as this one, but my equalizers measure about 4inch tall and 6 1/4inch long center to center. Do you have a kit with that size equalizers? My springs are 1 3/4inch wide double eye.

I do have a solution for you but unfortunately we don't have a complete suspension kit that has all of the parts the Kit # K71-359-00 has but with a larger equalizer.

Instead I recommend using the Never Fail Tandem Axle Suspension Upgrade Hardware Kit # LC281285 along with the Triangular Equalizer # TREQ310 which has a 4" height and a 6-1/16" width. The Never Fail kit includes the Never Fail bushings that are maintenance free so you don't have to think about greasing your wet bolts and the Triangular Equalizer is the close enough to the 6-1/4" measurement you took that it will work great without needing new shackle straps. This is much more cost-effective than piecing out the kit you referenced with the equalizer I am recommending.

You can always use an equalizer with different dimensions but in that case you need to change out the length of your shackle straps as well to make sure that your leaf springs sit in the same location.
