• Suspension Replacement For Stock Trailer With 26 Leaf Springs
  To refurbish the suspension on your 1970 Champ Stock Trailer you will need a handful of items. For a suspension kit with equalizers order the etrailer # e99ZR kit including 2 standard steel equalizers where width is 7-3/4” from center of mounting hole to center of other mounting hole. Includes bolts and lock nuts sized for 1-3/4” wide springs. Suspension kit does not have the size shackle straps that you need so you will want to order 8 TruRyde # TRSL275 straps measuring 2-3/4” on...

• Recommended Suspension Kit With 7-3/4" Long Equalizers for 1-3/4" Wide Leaf Springs
  It sounds like you need the Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers part # e99ZR which contains 7-3/4" long equalizers, 9/16" bolts, and 3-1/8" long shackle straps. The kit is designed for 1-3/4" wide leaf springs. I would be willing to bet you have 9/16" bolts instead of 1/2" which are very uncommon. Furthermore, shackle straps are not measured end to end but rather from the center of each hole. If you do indeed have 1/2" bolts and 4" long shackle straps (hole to hole) we would not...

• Replacement Equalizer Kit for Tandem Axle Boat Trailer
  The # e99ZR is designed for 33 inch axle spacing, center axle to center axle. The kit uses 4-1/4 inch tall, 7-3/4 inch long equalizers (measured center hole to center hole). The shackle straps provided are 3-1/8 from center hole to center hole. If that matches your current equalizer/ shackles, the kit would be a fine choice. The # K71-359-00 Dexter Heavy Duty kit features wet equalizer bolts with the zerk fitting. Keeping the suspension properly lubricated helps extend its life, and...

• 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 Tight Should Shackle Bolt Nuts Get on Trailer Suspension
  Shackle bolts don't typically have a specific torque value. They're usually tightened until the knurled portion of the bolt pulls completely into the shackle strap and the bolt head is ran all the way down to the shackle strap and you have at least 2 threads extending past the face of the nut. This allows the suspension to move like it needs to since it's not tightened down, but the lock nuts keep the bolts from unscrewing.

• Will Trailer Suspension Kit part # e99ZR Replace 2-1/2 inch Shackles
  The shackle straps of the # e99ZR are shorter at 1-3/4 inches than what you have now but that wouldn't be an issue. The slight length change would not be a problem.

• Replacement Equalizer, Shackles and Wet Bolts for 20 Foot Trailer with 7-3/4 Inch Wide Equalizer
  I have a solution for you, but the Dexter # K71-359-00 is not going to be a fit since the equalizer is only 5-3/4" wide. You could use the Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers - 1-3/4" Wide Double Eye Springs - 3-1/8" Links # e99ZR, which has the correct size equalizer but does not come with wet bolts and the shackle are also slightly shorter than your 3-1/2" shackles; the shackle length won't be an issue since shackles can stretch over time but if you wanted a wet bolt kit it would...

• Will 7-3/4" Long Equalizers Work In Place of 6-1/2" Long Equalizers
  The correct replacement 6-1/8" long equalizer is the part # TREQ356, not the part # TREQE34 which is 7-3/4" long. Therefore no, the two are not directly cross compatible. If the reason you are wanting to use 7-3/4" long is so you can get the kit part # e99ZR, you can use all the shackles and bolts with the above TREQ356 so getting both is what I recommend as there isn't a kit that comes with the TREQ356.

• Availability of 7-3/4 inch Equalizer Kit with 3-1/8 inch Long Shackles
  The lengths of the shackles that come with the equalizer kit part # K71-449-00 that you referenced are 2-7/8 inches measured from hole center to hole center. If yours are currently 3-1/8 inches this change would slightly lower the height of the trailer but it would still work. To match the shackle lengths and also be the thicker style you'd need the kit # MR76ZR with the # K71-655-00 which is cushioned. Or for just a standard equalizer and shackle kit you'd want the # e99ZR.
