Shackle link helps connect double-eye leaf spring to rear hanger or equalizer on trailer suspension systems. Shackling the 2 components together allows the necessary pivot of the springs. Measures 2-5/8" from center of hole to center of hole.

Today we're going to be taking a look at a replacement shackle strap. A shackle strap connects a double aisle leaf spring to a hangar of a single-axle trailer or to an equalizer of a multi-axle trailer. It's going to allow the necessary pivot of the springs to occur for an evenly distributed load between the axles, and also a smooth ride for the trailer. This part number is good for one shackle strap. If we take a measurement, the distance that we have from the center of one hole to the center of the other, that's going to give us the measurement of 2-5/8". Overall length, edge to edge, is around 4".
Overall width from edge to edge is going to give us a measurement of about 1-1/4". The hole diameters, that's going to be 9/16". You can see it's made from a nice durable steel construction. That's going to do it for today's look at the replacement shackle strap.

I live 2 miles from the ocean in coastal SC. I have two work trailers and one, if not both are used every day. The salt water takes it's toll on trailer parts. This is the 2nd spring set I've purchased from etrailer. Both times I was very pleased with the ease of the web site, my contact with their customer service was excellent and all the parts arrive very quickly, fit exactly and were priced fairly. Good CS, good parts and good price, what more can you ask for. If I need trailer parts again I WILL come back to etrailer.
The delivery was prompt and right on schedule. The shackles are very sturdy. Only one problem- one of the 9/16 inch lock nuts was not a lock nut. It was a regular 9/16 inch bolt. Good thing, I caught the mistake during installation or this could have been a real problem "down the road". I would have rated the product and the service excellent, if the nut issue had not been present.
It's been a year now since I replaced the leaf springs on my boat trailer and my etrailer.com parts are as good as new!! I have put over 2,000 miles on the trailer and had it in and out of the water close to 50 times now! Thank you etrailer.com
I am impressed with your online catalog. I have a custom built single axle 3.5 ton tilt deck equipment trailer. I acquired this trailer when I purchased a ranch home 15 years ago. I have no idea how old it is so when I needed suspension parts, the kits offered for a 3.5 ton axle didn’t match what is on this trailer.
Thanks to your product specific videos, I was able to piece together the exact part I needed by dimension.
I also can’t find a “made in China” on any of the packages so that a good thing.
Ended up doing a leaf spring replacement on my trailer and ordered these new shackles to go with it. Work perfectly, exactly what I needed!
I ordered wheel studs, shackle straps, and nuts to replace rusty components on my trailer. These are additional parts after ordering new trailer springs from etrailer earlier. Everything fit up great, and now both my axles support the trailer. Yay!
Thanks to Etrailer for having all this stuff for quick delivery, and it saves a ton over the local shop.
Fit perfect with the equalizers I also bought from etrailer.
Well, I just got the parts, so can't say anything reliable on chinese made parts.
The price was(is) Great! a boat load cheaper then the local store....humm.
springs fit perfectly, however, the springs I wanted are no longer being offered, could of had springs made but I went with the less$isMore theory. (more in my pocket)
The "white" nylon bushings I ordered would not fit into the equalizers, but the grey colored ones I had did fit perfectly, just a-hair difference in outer diameter.
The bolts fit perfectly as well.
It is always 10 times easier dealing with eTrailer then the local store, So I know eTrailer has put a lot of time into making it easy for their customers, Thanks!
Very Fast shipping, all at a price I can afford!
Just received my order today, first impressions they are well made Shackle Links. I am eager to install them and then I will update my review.

Could not be happier with this product not only did they bolt right in they are actually more durable and weight resistant then listed excellent product and will buy again in a few years if when I need to.
I put them on a double axle goose neck 2-horse straight load that gets used almost 2 days a week this last year. It has made many 100mile trips. I bought it used 8-hrs from home. Bought and installed new tires the next day and jacking it up broke a leaf spring. Put four springs on it using these shackles. Good as new!
I use my bumper pull tandem flatbed trailer a lot and have had to replace shackle straps, equalizer and bushings twice with it being less than 10 years old. This last time I took advice from a customer that had doubled the shackle straps and used longer bolts in shackle and spring eye. After a year, there is no visible wear yet so thinking this is an easy way to get more life when rebuilding.
I purchased 4 springs , 4 shackles , 2 load equalizer sand 4 axle U bolt kits for my 7,000# tandem trailer . Markings on parts indicated same as original parts and all fit properly . Only used trailer one time since the suspension rebuild for 6,000# of rock and all parts performed like new. Very satisfied with the quality and also the speedy shipping .
I bought 4 New Leaf Springs for my RV. Great price, so much so that I decided to move up from a 4 leaf spring to a 5 leaf spring for less than $10 more plus free shipping. I'm glad I found their site. Shipping was only 4 days.

Works as advertised no complaints
Correct parts and worked as they should. Replaced springs and hardware on one side of trailer the day i recieved parts.
When ordering, the descriptions plus dimensions helped a lot. Pictures of everything was great! Knew exactly what I was ordering. Delivery was right on time and the parts were good quality. I was in a hurry to do these repairs so we could take our trailer on a trip. It was a pleasure to do business with e-trailer! Thank you!
good price
The spring replacement went well and was easy to complete. It lifted my trailer about 1.5 inches from the top the tire to the fender. It wont rub anymore!!
The tire blew out on my camper. I changed the tire. I didn’t realize the spring was broke. I ordered springs and shakels and new bolts. It took just over and hour for both sides. Everything I received from etrailer was just as it should be.
Keep up the good job everyone.
Thank you
one leaf spring is not able to handle the weight as advertised. I will need to pull it off and dispose of it.
Fit perfect customer service is top notch and they are very knowledgeable and helpful

Great replacement for a car hauling trailer built from a house trailer frame that had badly warn suspension parts. These suspensions worked perfectly.
