Three 5 leaf springs, 4 idler hub kits, swivel tongue jack (made in the USA), coupler, safety chains, new winch cable. Over $700 in parts.... Had some labor cost removing and disposing of old hubs with four brakes. If I were to travel with it, which I don't, then there would be upgrades needed for lights and tires. Expensive, but I'm done.

(one of the leaf springs I replaced last spring already had a crack in it.... Chinese crap. Online supplier would not back it up, and only offered to drop price $20 on replacement spring only. Told them to go eff themselves....)
