Helpful Expert Reply:

The Lippert AP Kit # LC52SV for the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer # LC696740 does not come with bronze bushings. It is recommended to use Bronze Bushings # K71-291-00 when using a wet bolt as if you have nylon bushings it can deteriorate the bushing. The equalizer will come with bronze bushings already installed. If your leaf springs have damaged bushings or nylon bushing you will need to order the bushings above which includes 4, enough for 2 leaf springs. A tandem axle trailer will need 2 sets to cover all 4 leaf springs.

I recommend filling the wet bolts with the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease # L11390. This grease is specifically formulated to work well under high stress in both cold and hot climates. The Grease Gun # L30416 with its flexible hose will make it easy to reach the bolts.
