Video Transcript for Hands-On with the CE Smith Trailer Suspension Shackle Straps

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a brief look together at the CE Smith Trailer Suspension Shackle Straps. Now these steel shackle straps are going to help connect a double eye leaf spring to your rear hangar on your single axle trailers or to the equalizer on your multi axle trailers, allowing the necessary pivot of the springs, which evenly distributes the weight between the axles and gives you a smoother ride. Now these shackle straps are gonna fit your two inch trailer frames, and this does require U-bolts with the inside width of two and one eighth inches. And those U-bolts are sold separately, but they can be found here at etrailer.com.

Now let me give you some other measurements that will prove helpful for you. So taking a look at the overall length of the strap, lining that up there so you can see it, and so I can see it, we're sitting right at four inches long. And then looking at the width, we're sitting right at one and a quarter inches, and then the thickness, it's a quarter of an inch and then the distance between the mounting holes on center, we're sitting at, right at two and a half inches center to center on those mounting holes. Now again, I mentioned that these are constructed of sturdy steel. They are made here in the USA.

And I think that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
