Wet bolt kits - equalizer

I noticed in the other thread that some specified the kit they bought is the Dexter Axle K71-449-00 Heavy Duty Suspension Kit. The one MO Trailers installed on our Montana is the same thing except the number is K71-359-00.

I compared the part numbers of the parts in the kits and the only differences are

1. each has a different part number for the equalizer

2. one says it is for 33" wheel spacing and the other says 35"

3. the 359, like mine, is listed at 117.99 and the 449 is listed at 149.99. See pictures below.

ALL the other parts show the exact same part number in both kits.

My question is this... since ours has the OEM Mor/ryde RE rubber equalizer, does that mean the equalizer provided in the kit is not needed for these Montanas, the ones with the Mor/ryde RE? If so, couldn't some save money by purchasing the cheaper kit? I assume the equalizer makes the difference in the wheel spacing, if used? Maybe I need to crawl under to see if that equalizer is even used on our Montana.
