Question:
I actually wanted the system with grease fitting on the bolts to keep everything well lubricated at all times. What kit would I need and what grease please?

You will be able to use the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizers since they're fairly close in dimensions (6" wide x 3-1/4"). I recommend pairing these equalizers with the Never Fail Tandem Axle Suspension Kit # LC281285 which comes with 2 different lengths of shackle straps (3-1/2" and 4-3/8" bolt hole to bolt hole) to accommodate for the change in height, new bolts and bushings for your springs. One of the great things about this kit, aside from it being high quality and durable, is that the bushings require zero grease-so you won't need any for the installation of this kit. If you're going to reuse the bolts you currently have, it's recommended that you clean them off thoroughly since any grease could actually deteriorate the bushings prematurely.
