Factory shackles wear out fast under miles of towing. These heavy-duty 1/2" thick steel shackle straps are twice as strong as most stock parts, giving your suspension a solid upgrade. They replace your existing shackles to tighten up the system and bring back that steady, confident feel on the road.
A noisy, dry suspension is no fun. The kit’s wet bolts come with built-in grease fittings so you can keep everything lubricated without tearing it apart. Regular greasing keeps the movement smooth and quiet, cutting down on wear and keeping your setup in top shape longer.
Plastic bushings just don’t last when the miles add up. This kit swaps them for precision-fit bronze bushings that hold up far better under load. Working together with the wet bolts, they stay lubricated and resist elongation, helping the suspension move smoothly and stay aligned.
When it’s time to overhaul worn suspension parts, having everything in one box makes it easier. The kit includes 8 shackle straps, 4 shackle brackets, 12 wet bolts in 9/16" diameters, 8 bronze bushings, and (12) 7/16" locknuts. Each piece is built to the right spec for tandem-axle trailers with MORryde’s LRE leaf spring suspension and Correct Track system, so you can bolt it all together with confidence.
This upgrade kit extends the life of your suspension hardware and keeps your setup tight, even after long miles or rough terrain. The thicker shackles, bronze bushings, and greaseable bolts all work together to deliver a stronger, smoother, and lower-maintenance suspension for every trip.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this MORryde shackle upgrade kit for the tandem axle trailers that have the LRE leaf spring suspension and the OEM correct track hanger. Now, this heavy duty shackle kit is an excellent upgrade for RV suspension. This kit uses the 1/2 inch thick shackle brackets which are a lot thicker, and stronger and more durable than the standard 1/4 inch thick factory brackets. They also use the bronze bushings instead of plastic bushings. These bronze bushings will increase durability and they hold up a lot better than the factory plastic bushings.
And the shackle bolts on this upgrade kit, they use greasable bolts, which are also known as wet bolts and those are easily maintained, help minimize wear and tear versus a tri-bolt. Now, in a multi-axle system the shackles right here, this is what'll link the springs and the equalizers in your suspension system and the shackles are what'll handle the most movement and weight in a suspension setup therefore, they are the most likely component to wear and they should be checked frequently. Now, the shackle bolts which holds the shackle straps to your leaf springs and to your equalizer, they normally use dry bolts from the factory which, over time, can wear out and fail. This nice upgrade kit, besides using the thicker straps also uses the wet bolts, we mentioned. These are shackle bolts that'll have a grease Zerk fitting on the end, allows you to connect a grease gun to this and apply grease to the inside of the bushing.
So, when your bushing is on here the grease will come out that hole and it greases the inside of the bushing, keeps that wear from happening at the connection points. Now, this upgrade kit will replace the shackle straps, the bushings, bolts, lock nuts on your RV suspension system. Everything laid out here on the table's included. I'm gonna go through em all. Comes with eight of these 2-1/4 inch long, 1/2 inch wide shackle straps.
Now, when I say 2-1/4 inch long what I'm measuring is these from the center hole here to the center hole here. So that's a 2-1/4 inch long shackle strap. Comes with 12 of the 9/16 diameter by 3-3/8 inch long wet bolts, eight of the bronze bushings, 12 of these 7/16 size flange lock nuts, the four shear spring brackets and then in this bag there's 16 of the 3/8 inch diameter yellow zinc bolts and the 16 3/8 inch size zinc lock nuts. Does come with a nice set of installation instructions that will describe how everything gets installed and these parts are made in the USA. But that should do it for the review on the MORryde shackle upgrade kit for the tandem axle trailers with the LRE leaf spring suspension and the OEM correct track hanger..

That's awesome to "hear", Tom. I know the clanking of trailer suspension can get loud so if it helped reduce it by that much, I call that a major win!

The new shackles with the wet bolts have worked as expected for 6000+ miles. Important upgrade for anyone who plans on towing their camper any distance.

Those old bushing look gnarly for sure! How often are you out on an adventure with your travel trailer, Jimmy?

This was my first tandem axle unit. As I was pulling it home, it had such a twitch and shake that I pulled over to check it out. All bolts, etc. looked to be fine. I came across a review of the Road Armor and replaced my existing suspension. I have had zero issues and the trailer pulls smoothly. I highly recommend them.

The kit is intended to replace the bolts, shackles and bushings on both sides of a tandem axle trailer. It should have included the following: 8 Shackle straps 8 Wet bolts (for attaching the springs to your equalizers) 6 Wet bolts (for suspending your equalizers and springs from the hangers) 14 Bronze bushings (for spring eyes and equalizer bolt holes) 14 Locknuts If anything is missing, let me know and I'll get it straightened out for you.

Thanks for the awesome detailed review, Kevin! Really glad Kyle and Daylon were able to help track down the issue and get you pointed toward the right setup. It sounds like you put a lot of care into the install, and it definitely paid off. Making use of those stumps was pretty genius too. Safe travels ahead!
