The Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers like part # LC314336 are a great upgraded equalizer option for any trailer. It does not come with shackles or shoulder bolts however so if you need those you will want to use the Lippert Components Tandem Axle Equa-Flex AP Kit part # LC64FR. In regards to installation, there won't be any torque specs. Instead, I recommend tightening the nuts until they makes contact with the shackle strap and then add another 1/4 turn. This should give you the right amount of torque needed to secure the nut and prevent the suspension components from binding. The lock nuts included with the kit above will ensure the bolts do not back out.

I have attached a review video I did on the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers below.
