Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at the shackle upgrade kit. This kit is going to upgrade the stock shackles on your trailer suspension. It is going to work whether you're running an upgrade or whether you're building a new trailer. And just want the best kind of shackles to ensure that the trailer is gonna last a long time. Now, this kit is going to work for your triple axle trailers with the 3 and 1/8 inch shackles and the leaf spring suspension.
This kit is going to provide all the shackle straps, bolts, and bushings, as well as the lock nuts that you're gonna need. These are a half-inch thick shackle. So they're going to be much thicker than your stock shackles. I've pulled a stock shackle from our shop here. And you can kinda see just how much thicker these shackles are gonna be compared to those stock shackle.
So being so much thicker, it's gonna make them much stronger and it's gonna help them last much longer for you. These also have greasable bolts. So it's gonna be very easy to just tap into that zerk there and grease these up to make sure that that friction doesn't build up. And again, help them last longer. These also have the brass bushings on them to help increase durability.
So overall, this kit is going to be a huge upgrade for you to increase the durability and longevity of your suspension system on your trailer. This kit is made here in the USA, so you can trust it's made to the high quality standards that we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the US. And overall, I think you're gonna be very happy with this kit. I think it's gonna be pretty easy to get this switched out. And it's gonna be a huge peace of mind to know that this system is so beefy and hardy for you.
So that's going to complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with eatrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Review from a similar Shackle Upgrade Kit in Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
This kit is fantastic! So much better quality than the factory bolts, shackles and cheap plastic bushings... The shackles are twice as thick! I did find that filing down the aggressive knurled surface on the bolts some & applying grease to that area helps to install the bolts easier if they are too tight in your frame hanger brackets. Take your time and work smart and safe!

The wet bolt shackle kit w/ correct track is a good heavy duty kit. However the description stats it will work on a standard set up. And it will, but you will need to buy 2 9/16'' x 3'' bolts to correctly install.
Review from a similar Shackle Upgrade Kit in Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
So far so good, I hate doing reviews right after the install but I will update if things go south. Hint- the shackles do not press tight against the springs. Its obvious why when I thing about it because it needs room to travel. But while tightening the bolts there was a little slop until I figured out why...
Review from a similar Shackle Upgrade Kit in Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
During my upgrade to the CRE3000 and X-Factor cross member I upgraded the wet bolts too. My only issue was that I ordered the wrong kit. My trailer doesn't have the correct track so two of the wet bolts were too long. I called MorRyde and they are sending me the two wet bolts and then I will install.

Everything was in the pocket and now has been put on the trailer. Like how the parts were packaged and everything was there. You all provided good service thank you
Review from a similar Shackle Upgrade Kit in Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
I purchased this upgraded product to eliminate the squealing and binding from my suspension that had worn thru the oem nylon bushings. I have used this kit on my previous trailer and was very satisfied with the upgrade and added safety that comes with the bronze bushings, hardened bolts and half inch thick shackle connections. I am very satisfied with this product and etrailer.

It was good to hear that they were shipping sooner than expected as we are going on vacation the first week of August. This gives me time to get them installed. They look like good quality parts. Thanks again for all that you did.

Great upgrade for my 5th wheel
Review from a similar Shackle Upgrade Kit in Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
The Grade 5 or maybe 3 ?? greaseable bolts have really cheap flange nuts. They easily strip. Grade 8 hardware would be a much better choice for an HD Upgrade kit.
Review from a similar Shackle Upgrade Kit in Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
Bought this complete kit to replace one I installed back in 2015 and about 30000 miles ago! Cheaper than just bolts and bushings and all the small bolts are now fresh also. Prompt delivery. Hardware is plastic sealed to a card, no worries about something being lost during shipping due to a damaged box.
