Features to know about

Strong Connection for Steady Suspension: 2" Center-to-Center Shackle Strap

A weak or worn shackle strap can throw off the balance of your suspension. This 2" long TruRyde shackle link connects the double-eye leaf spring to the rear hanger or equalizer, giving your suspension the pivot it needs to move freely. The proper connection keeps the load evenly distributed between axles so the trailer tracks straight and handles bumps without harsh jolts.

Built to Handle Real-World Loads: Thick 1/4" Steel Construction

Thin links twist and wear out fast. This strap stands out with solid 1/4" thick material that gives you dependable strength where it counts. It resists bending and elongation under weight so your setup stays tight even after thousands of miles.

Sized Right for Clean Installation: 9/16" Bolt Holes and 3-1/4" Overall Length

Getting hardware to line up smoothly saves headaches during the install. With bolt holes drilled at 9/16" diameter and a total size of 3-1/4" long by 1-1/4" wide, this link fits cleanly with standard suspension bolts and equalizers. It’s ready to drop in and get your trailer rolling again with proper geometry restored.

Simple, Reliable Design: Sold Individually for Custom Setups

You can order exactly as many as you need for your build or repair since each strap is sold individually. Whether refreshing one side or rebuilding everything, the consistent size and thickness make it easy to match across your suspension for even performance.

Video Transcript for Ultimate Overview of the Shackle Strap

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at a Shackle Strap that measures 2" long. This shackle strap connects a double-eyed spring to a rear hanger on a single-axle trailer or to an equalizer on a multi-axle trailer. The link or the shackle allows the appropriate movement to take place. It's made from a durable steel construction with protective finishing to keep it safe from rust and corrosion.Now, the shackle length is measured from the center of one hole to the center of the other hole, so if we take a measurement of that, that's where we get our 2" measurement from. When it comes to the overall measurements, edge-to-edge going in this direction, we're looking at about 3-1/4" long by 1-1/4" wide by 3/16" thick, and then the bolt hole diameter is 9/16" of an inch. That's going to do it for today's look at the Shackle Strap that measures 2" long..

ALL GOOD

Prompt Delivery, Good Material, As Specified, Good Price

Needed links for my three jaw pullers. These fit the bill very nicely. Good quality, good price and at my door in a few days.



by:

Quality parts for great prices. Everything was just as described.



by:

I only use them as pin lock brackets on a utility trailer. They do weld easily.



by:

Perfect replacment for shackles they re placed.



by:

Great customer service. Very much appre ciated



by:

Perfect product for my application



by:

Great product at a great price. Fast sh ipping.



by:

Unfortunately I received a torn padded envelope with nothing in it. The post office marked it as Received w/o contents. I called the 800 number and spoke with Josh. He was excellent and immediately offered to ship the product again as soon as he had it back in stock. I’m hopeful.



by:

High quality product. Extremely satisfied with purchase. Thanks etrailer.com!



by:

I purchased this product as a back up because dexter Strap was back ordered it did not fit on the dexter replacement link, as suggested by a service worker.



by:

Parts were exactly what I ordered! The delivery time was longer then expected but etrailer kept me notified with updates on delivery.

Totally satisfied.



by:

They seem to be working very well. I recommend them.
Etrailer is my go to source for trailer parts.



by:

Used this product for a non trailer application, but it was just what I needed.. ordering, processing and delivery were spot on... no problems...



by:

The size is as indicated and the hole diameters are of proper specifications as listed. The only thing about these shackle links or straps, is that they are not made of as hard of steel as the originals were. The price is very reasonable, but I'm unsure of the durability of these, because of the lower steel hardness. These are for a double axle 16 foot long utility trailer. Time will tell if they hold up without the holes quickly becoming elongated and deformed.



by:

Everything I needed to repair an old rusted boat trailer at a great price and free fast shipping, what more could one want. So glad I found their web site and technical information.



by:

We were very happy with the trailer parts ordered --- There was some confusion with delivery, but etrailer tracked down the order and corrected the situation.



by:

Great quality product in a size that allowed my camper to sit just slightly higher than the standard length shackles.



by:

Excellent no complaints

Great customer service!



by:

Exact replacement for what I needed. Raw steel, be prepared to rust prevent.



by:

Well, my suspension replacement and over/under swap went great! You guys were very helpful in ensuring I got the right parts and didn't waste money on shipping and other parts I didn't need. It tows like a dream now. I hardly even notice it behind me and I really don't have to slow down to .05 MPH for every little dip in the road.



by:

Order was quick along with delivery. Received product different than ordered (received 2 1/2” bolt center instead of 2” like ordered.



by:

Product was high quality and fit perfectly to the previously purchased 1 1/2" U-bolts. Did the job. I used the U-bolts and these straps to bolt a sister axle to a boat trailer axle that was showing signs of bending. Item was as advertised and arrived quickly. Who could ask for more?

  • Correct Replacement for Dexter 13-10 Equalizer
    The correct replacement for a Dexter 13-10 Equalizer is the Triangular Equalizer part # TREQ310, not the Curved Equalizer part # TREQE1. If you want to upgrade, the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers part # LC279688 would work but you might want to go with a slightly shorter shackle strap like part # TRSL200 or part # TRSL225 due to the equalizer being longer. I have attached a list of our shackle straps below as well. The upgraded equalizer is going to be a night and day difference in regards...

  • Vintage Trailer Suspension Replacement Recommendations
    Going to a higher rated spring will not give you higher rated axles. The axles themselves have their own rating independent of the springs. So going to a higher rated spring would only increase your trailer capacity if they were the weakest link prior to replacement. That being said, your current springs are 28 inches long so you will want to pick out a spring that is slightly shorter than that as springs tend to stretch over time. The part # SP-210275 would be the best candidate as it...

  • Can 2-1/4 Inch Long Shackle Straps be Used in Place of 2 Inch Long Shackle Straps on a Trailer
    The only way to know for sure if the 1/4 inch longer shackle straps, # TRSL225 (compared to the 2 inch long # TRSL200) will be a problem is to install them. The longer straps will likely mean they will be at a steeper angle once installed and that could affect the travel of the suspension. I do recommend not chancing it and go ahead and get the correct shackle straps # TRSL200.

  • Does Road Armor Equalizer Kit Require Different Size Shackle Straps
    The Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 will work to replace the Triangular Equalizer # TREQ310 and you are absolutely correct that the Road Armor equalizer will need shorter shackle straps than yours which are 2-1/4". The shortest available are the 2" Long Shackle Strap # TRSL200. I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.

  • Can 25-1/4 Leaf Spring and Dexter Axle HD Suspension Kit Fit a 31 Axle Spacing
    The Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # K71-359-00 is ideal for 33" axle spacing but since the shackle straps are able to rotate they can be used for varying axle spacings that are near that 33" mark. The best thing to do is to match the width of the equalizer (which is 5-3/4") and the shackle strap length (2-1/4" long) so you know everything will match up correctly. If need be you can use the 2" strap # TRSL200 to try to get things to match up better. Since everything...

  • Quantity of Shackle Strap - 2" Long # TRSL200 When Ordered
    The Shackle Strap - 2" Long # TRSL200 that you referenced is sold individually so if you needed a quantity of 8 you'd need to order 8.

  • Are Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Good Replacements For 6 Inch Wide Triangular Equalizers
    So based on the measurements you mentioned, the equalizer you have now is likely the Triangular Equalizer # TREQ310, and for that the best option for an equalizer upgrade kit is definitely the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740. This kit will absorb vibration and give you a much smoother ride by far, and will be a better option than the E-Z Flex due to the height difference. The E-Z Flex is a good kit, but too short for your needs, as there aren't shackle straps that will...

  • Will Road Armor Equalizers Work on a 2019 Palomino Puma 5th Wheel with Stock Equalizers 6 Long
    Yes. You can use the Road Armor # LC696740 to replace your stock equalizers since both are 6" from side to side, but there's a chance that you may need a slightly shorter shackle strap because of the top bolt to side bolt measurement difference between these and your stock equalizers. Because it's a small difference of only about 1/2", it may not be necessary, but you'll want to install it and see how everything sits. If you need to go to a shorter shackle strap, you can use the Shackle...
