• Determining The Correct Replacement Shackles For 1997 Dutchmen 26FWRK-2
  I would be happy to help you find the correct replacement shackles for your 1997 Dutchmen 26FWRK-2 but you will need to measure your current shackles as I was unable to find any information on the specific ones used based on your VIN. To measure the shackles you will need to measure from center of one hole to the center of the other as shown in the included diagram. You will then just need to find shackles that match your current ones. For example the Replacement Standard Shackle Link...

• Availability Of 2-1/4" Long Shackle Strap That Is 1/4" Thick
  The Replacement Standard Shackle Link - 2-1/4" Long - Zinc - Qty 1 # LC122487 you were looking at are 3/16" thick. Instead you will need the Replacement Shackle Strap - 2-1/4" Long # 18-11GALV which are still 2-1/4" long but have the 1/4" thickness you are wanting. I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

• Determining Correct Replacement Shackle Straps For 2010 Cruiser RV Shadow Cruise 18' Travel Trailer
  Thank you for providing all of that information! The correct replacement shackle straps for your 2010 Cruiser RV Shadow Cruiser 18' Travel Trailer is the Replacement Standard Shackle Link # LC122487 which measures 2-1/4" center to center of the 9/16" holes so it will be right at 1/8" shorter than your current shackle straps, but is the closest option and will work perfectly. I included a video of the # LC122487 for you to take a look at.

• How to Lower Height of Single Axle Trailer With Leaf Springs
  The shortest shackle length is going to be 2-1/4" like the # LC122487. As for removing a leaf or two from your leaf spring, I would not recommend doing this. It will lower the weight capacity of your leaf spring and also require some modifications. You also would not be able to remove the leaf running from the hanger to the shackle strap so this would have no impact on the height of your trailer. One possible option would be to get shorter hangers. It doesn't look like you could get any...

• Are Shorter Shackles To Use Road Armor Equalizer LC696740 To Replace 5-1/2" Long Equalizer?
  The 2-1/4" shackles you currently have are the shortest currently available, but don't worry, you wont have any issues with the increased 1/2" length of the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit - Tandem Axle # LC696740. This equates to only a 1/4" increase on each side and will not affect your suspension geometry. If your current shackles and bolts are in good shape you can reuse them, or if they are in need of replacement I recommend the 8 of the Replacement Standard Shackle Link...

• Determining Which Equalizers, Shackles, and Wet Bolts Fit Trailer W/ Squeaking Suspension
  I would be happy to walk you through how to determine which replacement components you will need, but you will need to take a few measurements of the components on your trailer. First the # 013-144-03 you were looking at measures 7-3/4" from center to center of the horizontal mounting holes as shown in the included diagram. As long as this matches your current equalizers this would be a great replacement option. Moving on to the shackles you will need to measure center to center of the...

• 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...

• Which Replacement Equalizer and Shackles for 2004 Carson Dump Trailer with Axles 34" Apart
  In addition to the axle spacing, the best way to choose the appropriate equalizer replacement is by measuring how wide your current equalizer is when measured between the two side bolt holes, center on center; as long as you keep everything relatively close in length compared to the old parts, the geometry of your suspension system won't be thrown off. As long as your existing equalizer is 5-3/4" wide and your shackle straps are 2-1/4" long from bolt eye center to bolt eye center then...

• Replacement Equalizers and Wet Bolt Kit For a Tandem Axle Utility Trailer
  Your tandem axle utility trailer will likely have an equalizer like the Curved Equalizer # TREQ104. These would have been held in place by 3" Shackle Bolts # 166081 and Nylon Bushings # 721590 and Shackle Links # LC122487 on the ends of the equalizer. The best upgrade you can do is to replace the equalizer and all mounting hardware with the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-652-00. This kit has an equalizer that is designed to replace the curved equalizer with a width of 5-1/4" to...

• Troubleshooting Tandem Axle Trailer Leaf Springs Hitting Trailer Frame at Equalizers
  It does look like you have shackle straps that are to long and possibly worn out bushings. You can replace your shackles with the 2-1/4" Shackle # LC122487. You will need 8 of these for the entire trailer. I would recommend pulling a couple of the Shackle Bolts # TRFA73Z916DLNZ to determine if they or the Nylon Bushings # TRBU11566 are worn and causing extra clearance which may explain if this is something that just started happening recently. You will need 14 of the bushings and 8 bolt...
