Helpful Expert Reply:

If you are just going to be cleaning your hubs and packing the bearings with fresh Grease # L11390 you will want a set of Seals # RG06-050 for each of your 3,500lb axles. The Seal Puller # PTW1219 will make removing the seals easier once you have your hubs removed. We do offer the Bearing Packer # L70025 which will allow you to more easily squeeze the fresh grease into the bearings with the aid of a Grease Gun # L30416.

If you wish to install new bearings and races you will need 4 of our Bearing Kits # BK2-100 which will give you all new bearings, races and seals. Our Installation Set # PTW83020 will aid in the install of the races.

I have no way to tell the length of your leaf springs. We have them 23-1/8" # e59SR, 25-1/8" # e54SR and 27" # e97SR long from eye center to eye center. You will need to measure your leaf springs with the weight removed from the axles to get the most accurate measurement.

I recommend upgrading your equalizers to the MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers # MR27ZR for which you will also need the Wet Bolt Kit # MR46ZR. This will give you all new suspension components and the upgraded parts will help to cushion the shock and move more freely than the stock suspension.
