You can definitely use the MORryde suspension bolts if that's what you're wanting to use. The correct kit depends on what your trailer is currently equipped with and how long your shackle straps are (see attached photo of where to measure).

If you have the Road Armor and Correct Track
2-1/4" Shackle Straps - # MR58ZR
3-1/8" Shackle Straps - # MR98ZR

If you only have the Road Armor
2-1/4" Shackle Straps - # MR46ZR
3-1/8" Shackle Straps - # MR76ZR

We always recommend when you do something to one side of the axle to do it to the other side of the same axle so that you have a consistent ride quality. I've attached an installation video of one of these kits so you have an idea of what is involved.
