Keep your leaf springs securely in place with these robust 9/16" diameter bolts, designed specifically for double-eye springs. These suspension bolts are made to withstand the pressures of any trailer, ensuring stability whether you're hauling a camper, car hauler, or utility trailer.

Precision Fit Every Time: Accurate 3-Inch Shaft Length Measured without Head

The 3-inch length of these shackle bolts is precisely measured to include just the shaft, ensuring an accurate fit within your suspension system. This detail is particularly helpful for those who value exact measurements, allowing for perfect compatibility with your double-eye springs.

  • 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...

  • Can A Bent Axle Cause Uneven Wear On Inside Of Tires?
    Hello Steve; yes, a bent axle or spindle can indeed cause uneven tire wear. Excessive wear on the inside of the tire is most commonly cause by a bent or overloaded axle. Even a very small bend, like a fraction of a fraction of an inch can throw things off enough to cause damage like you are describing. If your axle is bent, replacing it is recommended. If you can let me know the weight capacity and hub face length of your axle, I am happy to look into it and see if we have a replacement...

  • Recommended 3500 lb Replacement Axle, Leaf Springs, And Hardware For Pop-Up Camper
    For your pop up camper, I recommend the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - EZ-Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" - 3,500 lbs # e43SR. You will want to measure to ensure that this is the correct fit with the leaf springs at 74 inches from spring center to spring center. This axle has the brake assemblies and hub and drum assemblies already fitted, so you will just need to assemble and install. For leaf springs, you will want to measure from center of spring eye to center of spring...

  • Recommended Complete System Trailer Frame Down for Roadmaster Comfort Ride
    The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks - Tandem 8K, 3" Trailer Axles # RM-2460-2580 will fit any 3 inch diameter axles. The closest rated 3 inch diameter axles we have are the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - E-Z Lube - 8 on 6-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 95" - 7,000 lbs # 8327834-EB. This axle comes with the hubs and brake assemblies so as long a 80 inch on center spring seats work for your trailer, this will be an excellent choice. You will also need the U-Bolt...

  • Comparing Lippert Never-Fail Bushings to the Bronze Bushings and Wet Bolt Option for Tandem Axles
    The bronze bushings and wet bolts are a great option but they still do require maintenance especially under the conditions you referenced. There really isn't any new information in comparing it is basically the difference between maintenance required and zero maintenance. The Never-Fail bushings # LC279685 are maintenance free and self-lubricating so they will be a better fit for you. This kit comes with the bushings for 4 springs and two equalizers for a complete tandem axle trailer....

  • How to Pick Out Replacement Leaf Springs for 2007 Weekend Warrior Model CR3905
    I was able to find out that your 2007 Weekend Warrior model CR3905 is triple axle trailer with a GVWR of 16k. That means for each axle you'd need a capacity of at least 5,333 lbs. Which means you most likely have 6k axles. We have a few options for that capacity for leaf springs but you'll need to measure the length of your current springs to be sure. If you have 26 inch long springs you'd need part # e94SR. If you have 25-1/4 inch long springs you'd need part # e78SR. You should note...

  • Recommended Brake Assemblies For A Highland Ridge RV Open Range Travel Trailer
    Hey Jason, That number shows you have a Lippert axle with a gross axle weight rating of 4,400lb so you would likely need the Lippert Electric Trailer Brakes # LC66WD. These self-adjusting brake assemblies fit 10" x 2-1/4" drums. You can double check one of your drums to confirm fitment.

  • Replacement For 25-1/2 Inch Leaf Springs on Boat Trailer
    Leaf springs flatten out over time, so since yours are 25-1/2" center to center, you'll want to go with ones a little shorter than that: - 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long - Dacromet # e93SR The # e93SR says for "4,000 lb" axles but that is just their capacity; you said you have 2-3/8" axles, which is a 3,500 lb axle, so this will give you a bit of added strength. You mentioned 3" shackle bolts as well, and for those use # 166081. Then for the U-bolts,...

  • Is Grease Required For The Slipper Spring Bolts Of The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Suspension Kit
    The bushings for the slipper springs in your Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers - Tandem 7K Trailer Axles # RM-2460-2570 would not need grease so you can definitely swap out the wet bolts with some standard bolts like part # 166081.

  • Leaf Spring Options About 25 Inches in Length For 6,000 lb Axle
    You said "about" 25 inches in length so I'll give you a couple options for what might work depending on the exact length you have, and if you want to go to a higher-rated, 7k leaf spring. Also, you'll want your replacement springs to be a bit shorter because leaf springs stretch over time. If you happen to have leaf springs a bit longer than 25 inches (say 25-1/2 inches) you can use the 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long # e78SR. Those are dacromet coated...

  • Is There A Time Frame For When Wheel Studs Or Suspension Bolts Should Be Replaced
    There really isn't a time frame for when the studs need to be replaced since wear and tear can differ depending on usage and climate. If you feel your studs are starting to look bad or the threads are tore up then you'll want to pop one out of the hub and take some measurements to determine the correct replacement. For example, part # 7-122 is 1/2" in diameter and has a 2" stud length. If you're instead referring to the bolts for your suspension then the same rules apply. You'll measure...

  • Replacement 7,000 lb Leaf Spring & Mounting Hardware
    The 7,000 lb double-eye leaf spring we have that is closest to 26" is the 24-7/8" long 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 7,000-lb Trailer Axles # e64SR. Assuming yours have flattened a good amount (which will definitely be true if the trailer is older), these will work out as a good replacement. You mentioned hardware, and I'm assuming you were referring to U-bolts, shackle bolts and straps. You'll need to measure your shackle straps but you can use the following: - U-Bolt Kit # APUBR-9 -...

  • Can Trailer With 1-3/4 Inch, 2,000 lb Slipper Springs Change to Double Eye Springs
    Yes, you can change from 1-3/4 inch slipper springs to double eye springs on your trailer. You will need to have the slipper end hanger removed and have a new hanger welded on which allows the leaf spring to sit at the same height. Or you could replace all of your hangers with a brand new kit if you like, and I have added a link below to our entire selection of hangers and hanger kits for you. Then you just need the leaf spring and bolts, and for your 26-1/4 inch springs I recommend a...

  • Bolts Needed To Install Slipper Springs
    For the spring eye you would use the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long # 166079, but slipper springs don't have the second spring eye, so a bolt is not used on the back end. You can also use a wet bolt like # 126B2, for less friction. The Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long # 166081 are for use with the spring and shackle straps used with a shackle straps on a tandem setup with an equalizer but it could be used for the springs and the...

  • Replacement Trailer Hub/Drum For A LCI35-SB-86.5-68.5-NOSP-OS-L-655-7278-30PT-3-GAWR
    When it comes to replacing hub/drum assembly on your LCI axle model # LCI35-SB-86.5-68.5-NOSP-OS-L-655-7278-30PT-3-GAWR you will need The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K. The hub/drum has a sturdy iron construction and includes Inner Bearing # L68149 and Outer Bearing # L44649. The hub has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern, and is compatible with standard axles from most manufacturers, including Dexter and Lippert (LCI). The bearings, races, grease seal, grease cap, and...

  • Replacement Nylon Bushings And Wet Bolts For Leaf Springs On A 2000 Pequea 1018 Deckover Trailer
    When it comes to replacing your spring bushings you will first need to remove one from your current double eye leaf spring on your 2000 Pequea 1018 Deckover Trailer and use a Digital Caliper # PTW80157 to find out what the inner and outer diameter of your bushing is. The Nylon Bushing # TRBU11566 has a 9/16 inch inner diameter and has a 11/16 inch outer diameter. The Shackle Bolt # 166081 is needed to install the bushing.

  • Replacement Parts to Rebuild Trailer Suspension on 1976 EZTrail
    All of the products you listed will work together just fine. Keep in mind, if your current springs are not 26 inch springs, like the # e77SR you referenced, your hangers, # APS4, will not be in the exact same position as your current ones. When repositioning everything the most important factor is keeping the axle in the same location it currently is. The U-Bolt Kit # APUBR-10 is correct for a 2,000 pound axle and the Shackle Bolt # 166081 will work too. It's hard to tell by the picture...

  • Recommended Shackle Bolt for 2,000 lb Utility Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension System
    The Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long # TRFA73Z916DLNZ is a grade 5 bolt. Your setup as described is a standard setup for leaf spring hangers and double eye leaf springs. The # 166081 is made by the same manufacturer and is used more commonly than zinc plated for most factory applications. The cost difference comes down to supply and demand. The Dexter bolt # 007-003-01 is simply a different manufacturer that has a big name in the trailer axle market. ...

  • Can Double Eye Trailer Leaf Springs Install Without Shackles
    Feel free to send me the pictures you have via email. If one side of the suspension hangers doesn't have a shackle setup you'll need to install some so that suspension can extend as it compresses. Otherwise it won't function well since the spring would have no where to stretch to as it compresses. For 3-1/8 inch shackles we have the part # TRSL313. Then for a shackle bolt that comes with a nut you'd want the part # 166081.

  • How to Tighten Shakle Links on a Utility Trailer Suspension
    There usually is not a bushing in the upper bolt on the shackle links. When tightening the bolts on the shackle link you will want to get them tight but you do not want to over tighten them. Being tight will not keep the suspension from working properly but over tightening things could cause problems. The weight of the trailer and the suspension will allow the shackle links to move properly. When reinstalling the nuts on the shackle bolts make sure that you use locking style nuts so that...

For a 26" long double eye leaf spring, I recommend using the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer part # e77SR as long as your current leaf springs are 1-3/4" wide, these will work great for you. Our leaf springs are sold individually, therefore you will need to purchase 1 spring per side of each axle.

  • Torque Spec for 9/16" x 3" Long Bolt for Suspension
    There is not a specific torque requirement for bolts like the Shackle Bolt # 166081. You'll want to make sure that you're using a lock nut and ensure that the bolts you use are long enough so that when installed you will have at least 2 threads protruding that lock nut.

  • Can Wet Bolt be Used as Replacement Shackle Bolt
    Thank you for the photo. Based on that you can use either Shackle Bolt with Locknut # 166081 or Wet Equalizer Bolt with Locknut and Grease Zerk # 126B2. These are the exact same 3-5/16" bolt with 9/16" diameter and the only difference is that wet bolt # 126B2 comes with the zerk fitting you referenced.
