Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long
Bought many parts, wheels & tires for a small horse trailer restoration project. Received everything purchased quick and all parts were perfect. Made the job go as smoothly as a 25 year old trailer restoration can go.
-I buy Parts and Supplies from ETRAILER all of the time, to support my large fleet of pickup trucks and 20 trailers. -The Postal Service damaged this package and lost the product. -Staff at ETRAILER promptly shipped-out replacements. (Thank you.) *ETRAILER shipped with USPS Ground Advantage which automatically comes with $100 insurance, which will cover the loss of this product. -I have no reason at all, to complain about the ETRAILER Staff, their Service, nor their Products. -G.

Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long
Ideally, the shoulder of the bolts should be long enough to extend all the way through the spring and shackle so that the threads are not subject to load or moving parts. The treads are the weakest portion of any bolt and should only be exposed to tension, not sheer loads. This being trailer hardware, I guess that design factor is not a high priority. Just seems like it could be done right with just a smidge more effort or consideration. That said, the original bolts I removed had only a slightly longer shoulder and one-half the shackle was riding on threads and it held up for years, although it was worn considerably more in the threads.
I don't write many reviews--usually only when something is really bad or really good. I have been rebuilding a trailer and this is only my second order from etrailer.com. Their service is unmatched by any company I have dealt with in a long time. I will continue to do business with them.
