Video Transcript for Replacement Shackle Strap Feature Review

Today we're going to be taking a look at a replacement shackle strap. A shackle strap connects a double aisle leaf spring to a hangar of a single-axle trailer or to an equalizer of a multi-axle trailer. It's going to allow the necessary pivot of the springs to occur for an evenly distributed load between the axles, and also a smooth ride for the trailer. This part number is good for one shackle strap. If we take a measurement, the distance that we have from the center of one hole to the center of the other, that's going to give us the measurement of 2-5/8". Overall length, edge to edge, is around 4".

Overall width from edge to edge is going to give us a measurement of about 1-1/4". The hole diameters, that's going to be 9/16". You can see it's made from a nice durable steel construction. That's going to do it for today's look at the replacement shackle strap.

  • Limited Tire Clearance with Stock Tire Size on a 2006 Forest River Cherokee 27Q
    We recommend having a minimum of 3" between the top of the tire and bottom of the fender in order to allow for proper suspension travel. However, based on the photo you sent I believe you need new leaf springs as the ones you have appear to be almost completely flat. This has then compromised your tire clearance. The flattened leaf springs could either be a result of overloading the trailer or just general wear. In order to replace them you would need to know your axle capacity and the...

  • Effect of Installing Shorter Shackle Straps on Trailer with Axle Over-Under Kit
    To slightly lower your trailer that has had an "axle flip" kit installed you would want to use slightly shorter shackle straps, not longer ones. Shorter shackles will let the axle rest closer to the trailer frame, which lowers the trailer height. If you refer to the linked article on trailer suspensions you can see the included diagrams that show both tandem and single-axle configurations. This will help you visualize the effect of installing shorter shackle straps. I also linked our main...

  • Can Longer Shackle Straps be Added to Tandem Axle Trailer
    When replacing shackle straps they should be the same length as the ones that were previously on your tandem axle trailer (if possible); replacing them with longer straps will result in additional play in your trailer suspension which could lead to additional wear or other issues and longer ones are not going to provide you with added benefit. For a tandem axle trailer it is common to have 2-5/8" shackle straps such as part # 115052. I recommend using these if they were the same length...

  • Parts Needed to Replace Equalizer and Shackles and How to Determine Which Parts to Use
    Generally you'll want to replace your equalizer and shackles with ones that have the same or similar dimensions. The equalizer in the # AP233 kit has a 2" tall and 5-3/4" long (eye bolt center to eye bolt center) and the shackles included are 2-1/4" long. You might be able to make up the distance by just using some longer shackle straps like the Replacement Shackle Strap - 2-5/8" Long # 115052, which will give you an extra 3/8" of an inch. If you can provide the length of the shackle straps...

  • What Is The Purpose Of Steel band On Leaf Springs
    The leaf springs are normally installed with the band forward of the axle, but it is not something that has to be done that way. The steel band is called the rebound clip. Their main purpose is to help keep the main leaf from breaking on a rebound. When the weight of a vehicle or trailer is on the spring, all of the leaves work together to support the spring above them. If the wheel drops for any reason the total weight of the axle falls on the main leaf if there are no rebound clips....

  • What Causes Trailer Equalizer to Be Tilted and Not Flat
    Hey Arnold, if your trailer is sitting level and the equalizer is off to one side like that that means the springs are too long or the front and rear hangers are too close together. If the trailer is sitting level the easiest solution would be to go with a slightly shorter leaf spring. Someone could have installed too long of a spring on your trailer or like you said it stretched over time. To pick out replacement springs you'll need to know the current axle capacity and the length...

  • Replacement Suspension Components for Anvil 8.5 ft by 20 ft Trailer
    Hey Shaun, we have the exact replacement for your equalizer with the # TREQ104. But for shackle straps we only have 2-5/8 inch shackles in a non-hd configuration like the part # 115052. So what I would go with instead is the Dexter HD equalizer kit part # K71-359-00 which comes with everything you are looking for but the HD shackles are a little shorter at 2-1/4 inches. This would not cause any problems though since a slightly shorter shackle strap just ever so slightly changes the suspension...

  • Replacing Shackle Straps After Switching To A Taller Equalizer
    Hi Mike, With the height of your equalizer increasing an inch you might need to switch to 3-1/8" shackle straps # TRSL313 to keep the leaf spring stack level but this isn't an exact science so your leaf springs could end up sitting too close to the equalizer and will bind up. Your suspension should form a 'W' shape with the equalizer and shackle straps for proper suspension travel. Too far in or out with your shackles will cause binding or will flip the axles down on the equalizer. Because...

  • What Would Cause a Trailer Axle to Be Too Far Back in Fender Well
    Hey Steven, changing the length of your shackle straps would not change the front to back orientation of your trailer axle. Most likely what happened is the new hangers got installed too far back and that threw everything off. Trying to fix this by changing the length of components will be challenging but it would come down to going with a shorter leaf spring by a couple inches looks like. That would then still require moving the rear hangers closer to the front. With that said worth...

  • Shackle Strap Size Needed For A 2021 Coachmen Catalina Trail Blazer 28THS With Lippert Equalizers
    Hey David, The Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 has a 6" spacing so you'd only be taking on a 1/4" difference horizontally for both sides, which should be within tolerance for the shackle straps. Switching to a longer shackle strap like 3-1/8" # TRSL313 could help maintain your current height, but you'll run the risk of the straps sitting out of tolerance compared to the equalizer. The suspension has to be able to travel otherwise it will bind and start wearing out components...

  • How to Find Replacement Leaf Springs and Shackles for 1967 Aristocrat Camper
    Finding replacement leaf springs for your 1967 Aristocrat camper will require some more information. You will need your axle capacity, current leaf spring length, and the shackle length. If you don't know your axle capacity, try checking the axle tag to see if it is listed. For your leaf spring measurement, we are measuring from spring eye to spring eye. For the shackles measure center hole to center hole. For example, if you have a 3,500 lb axle with a 27" leaf spring measurement you...

  • Heavier Duty Shackle Kit Solution to Replace what Came with # APT5
    The shackle straps that come with the # APT5 are 2-5/8 inches long which we have standard replacements for with the part # 115052 but since you are wanting something more heavy duty I would go with the # MR76ZR as this gives you a much heavier duty shackle that also includes new bolts (to accommodate the thicker shackles), and new bushings as well. The shackles of this kit are longer at 3-1/8 inches which will allow the trailer to sit a little taller but otherwise will work just fine.

  • Can Trailer With Existing 3-1/2" Shackle Straps Use 2-5/16" Shackle Straps From Equalizer Kit
    Switching the shackle straps on your 2015 Big Tex 60CH would not be a good idea, especially since you would be using a significantly shorter size. In general, you want to keep the same length since swapping them out will change the suspension geometry and cause problems. Sometimes you need to use a longer shackle if you get a tall equalizer but I'm sure that doesn't apply here. Assuming you truly have 3-1/2" shackle straps you aren't going to find a kit with those since they aren't a...

  • Can I Use 1/2" Longer Shackle Straps for My Trailer Suspension
    If the shackle straps are within a 1/2" of what you normally had, say the 2-5/8" # 115052 to 3-1/8" # TRSL313, you should be okay to install them. Just make sure that all of your shackle straps match though. If you are using the longer straps only for a section of your suspension setup then that will cause issues for your trailer.

  • Recommended Equalizer Upgrade For 2016 Winnebago 2351DKS W/ 5-1/2" Long Equalizers
    I would be happy to help! Since the horizontal mounting hole measurement of the equalizers on your 2016 Winnebago 2351DKS is 5-1/2" there are a few different equalizer upgrade options. To determine which one will be best for you, you will need to measure from the center line of the horizontal mounting holes to the center of the upper mounting hole which will tell you how tall your equalizer is.

  • Replacement 3,500 lb Leaf Springs & 7-3/4 Inch Wide Equalizer
    Thanks for all that info and we can get you exactly what you are needing. Since you have a 2-3/8" axle that would be a 3,500 lb axle, so you want leaf springs rated for that weight. The concern with springs that exceed the rating of your axle is that they will give you a very stiff, rigid ride, so you want to stay with the correctly rated springs. I'll go ahead and list out the parts you need, with a couple notes. First is that leaf springs elongate slightly over time, which is why the...

  • Leaf Springs and Shackle Straps for Triple Axle Trailer with 7-3/4 Inch Equalizers
    The issue you are experiencing is a result of leaf springs that are too long for your hanger spacing. You will want shorter springs and I recommend also going with a capacity more geared toward your axles. You will want to use the Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs # APTT5 and # APTT3 for reference. These kits are rated for 2,000 to 7,000 lb axles with almost identical spacing. My recommendation for you is the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,300-lb Trailer Axles...

  • Correct Length of Trailer Suspension Shackle Link
    In order to retain the same suspension geometry, when you replace shackles you should use the same length replacements. Going with a shackle that is too short will not allow enough articulation in the suspension, and cause a very rough ride. Using a shackle that is too long will allow too much articulation and can cause the suspension to bottom out.

  • How to Determine Correct Replacement Leaf Springs for 7,000 lb Axle
    I can give you some guidance on how to determine the correct replacement leaf springs, and you are right that replacing all four of them at the same time is a good idea. What you'll need to do for double-eye springs (which is what I assume is on your 2017 Keystone Fuzion) is measure from the center of one eye to the center of the other eye and get a match as close as you can. Just take into account that the springs may have elongated a bit over time. For example, the only double eye spring...

Using the longer shackle straps will raise your trailer, but I recommend replacing your current hangers with longer ones as it will give you an even lift on each side of the trailer.

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 -...

  • Determining Correct Shackle Strap Size for Top Brand Tandem Axle Trailer
    Trailer manufacturers don't usually keep a record of parts like these that they install at the factory, so I cannot be sure as to the exact length of the shackle strap that would have come originally on your trailer. With this in mind, a 3-1/8 inch long shackle like what you have is typically used on single-axle systems and would be a bit strange on a tandem axle trailer. The most common size for the type of trailer you have is a 2-5/8 inch shackle strap like # 115052. You will simply...

    While we can help you determine the correct parts, we don't have a way of knowing exactly what type or length of shackle straps or bolts are on a trailer so you'll need to do a bit of measuring just to verify what you need. Trailer parts are universal so there isn't any specifically adaptable to your trailer, which is why you'll need to measure, and we carry hundreds and hundreds of brands, but most notably those like Dexter and Lippert.

Then for wet bolts that will work with these that come with matching nuts you'd want the part # 126B2. For a tandem axle setup you'd need a quantity of 8 shackles and 14 bolts.
