Hi Chase, welcome back! For the shackle straps and bolts I recommend the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit. This comes with wet bolts, bronze bushings, and 1/2" thick shackles. These parts will likely last as long as the trailer, and you won't have to worry about failure out on the road. The correct kit depends on your shackle strap measurements. If yours are 2-1/4" center hole to center hole you need # MR46ZR and for 3-1/8" # MR76ZR.

For the equalizers, do you just want standard replacement equalizers? If you can give me your measurements I can see what is available. See the diagram below, A and D are really all we need here.
