Cost me $2000 for the axles springs and hardware. And about $300 for the equalizers and wet bolts. Maiden voyage this weekend.

About the only difference I can see with your new suspension and the way I did it is that I also installed the Moryde X Factor crossmember braces at all three spring hangers.
We just recently towed from northern Michigan to North Carolina and the trailer performed better than it did with the lighter OEM axles. We didn't have any "rear kitchen cupboard damage or rearrangement of contents" which had been happening on every trip with the OEM axles/springs.
I think you'll have the same experience, at least I hope you do. Keep us posted on how your new suspension performs.
