rebuilding trailer suspension

I've had this trailer almost 3 years and use it to carry a lot of heavy loads. All I've been doing for maintenance is lubing the axle 2-3 times a year. But it's getting really squeaky back there and there's a lot of banging when I go over bumps. I had a quick look and saw some of the shackles were pretty worn and I want to get this taken care of before winter.

I looked online and saw some rebuild kits that come with wet bolts with grease fittings on them. Has anyone done this and know of a reliable seller where I can order a complete kit and have everything I need to do the work?

It's a 16' ez hauler trailer (2014). Has dual axles I think it's rated for 6000 but the axles are actually 7000.

I'm sure most trailer supply stores would have the shackle parts, you might try Etrailer.com

All this stuff is on etrailer as well as Amazon and it is not hard to put a kit together on your own.

Also plan on replacing all the bushings with bronze ones if the wet bolt doesn't come with them, i would also check the equalizers before you order any parts, etrailer would be where I would look.

Nick's trailer parts was about the cheapest i found when I rebuilt the travel trailer shackles and bolts with bronze and wet bolts. I also add the EZ-Flex since it was an RV trailer.
