Question:

You will need the following parts as we do not have everything you need in one kit.

Front/Rear Hanger # 115918 Qty 4
Center Hanger # 28-5 Qty 2
Curved Equalizer # TREQ104 Qty 2
Shackle Strap # CE14103G Qty 8
Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut # TRFA73Z916DLNZ Qty 14

You can swap the hardware for the Wet Equalizer Bolt # 126B2 if you wish to have a greased set of bolts that allow the suspension to move more freely. You will need to replace the nylon bushings in your springs and equalizer for Bronze Bushings # K71-291-00.
