Suspension Upgrades for AL-KO 5200# Axles

My 2011 Creekside 26BKS has a pair of AL-KO 5200# axles under it. As far as I know it has standard nylon bushings in the springs and equalizer and I would like to upgrade/eliminate them. I have around 7K miles on the unit and plenty of them are on rough dirt roads.

I was going to get the Dexter EZ-Flex and when I went to measure the axles last night I realized it wouldn't work.

My equalizer is 6.25" between shackle bolts, and has a 3" drop from the top bolt to the shackle bolts, the EZ-Flex setup are either too long or too short.

What I have is a 34" spacing on the axles, and the above 6.25" x 3" equalizer. The springs are 1.75".

What is out there to upgrade the bushings and bolts to greasable?

Thank you
