Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers - 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs
After receiving my shipment yesterday, I was concerned that parts may have been missing due to the shape of the shipping box and the lack of packing material. During the installation of the shackles, the third shackle nuts/bolts stripped out when tightened by hand. The shackle had to be cut off since the nuts could not be properly tightened. I have emailed etrailer with this issue and hopefully we can resolve the issue quickly.
I really wanted to give this kit a 5 star review, however it fell short in more than one way. The parts are very nice and heavy duty looking and went together purrty good. However, when I went to grease the shackles none took grease it just came out around the fitting, so I changed the end on my grease gun thinking it was just worn out, still same problem. I had to hold the fitting on the zirk as hard as I could and finally got them to take grease, one still hasn't taken grease and not sure what I'm going to do. I left all hardware loose to this point to make sure there was no un nessesary pressure on anything hoping it would take grease easy. It's like the heads of the zirks are a size to small. After greasing everything the best I could I tightened everything up, during this process I had 2 nuts that the threads pulled out of... Just as they got tight they started to loosen up, I was using a standard length 1\2 drive craftsman ratchet, and I'm not hulk. I ended up having a few nuts and washers that worked but still this shouldn't have happened. Makes me wonder about the rest of the metals strength. Looks heavy duty but I'm starting to wonder about longevity.

CE Smith Replacement U-Bolt w/ Nuts for 2-3/8" Round Axles - 1/2" Diameter - Galvanized
Replaced my whole boat trailer axle so I replaced the hardware too. Being galvanized really helped me decide to go with these. No rust and a year later.
These are worth the price. Best quality for saltwater axle. Other brands are packaged as galvanized but actually are zinc ubolts with a galvanized plate. Spend a little more get these.

Spring Seat for Typical 2,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles with 1-3/4" Diameter - Qty 1
These brackets used in conjunction with the new u-bolt kit made switching my trailer axle from being above spring to under spring. This has raised the trailer about 3 inches in height from stock. I have a new set of wheel and tires coming and this should take care of the slight slope as seen in the picture. After installing everything, I took the trailer for a test drive and it tracked nicely and behaved very good on the road. No problems.

Nylon Bushing - 1/2" Inner Diameter, 7/8" Outer Diameter - 1-3/4" Long
This is exactly what I needed to replace the nylon bushings in my Trailex trailer, which were damaged when removing rusty bolts. As always, etrailer shipping was super-efficient.
I bought these bushings because they are the exact size of the wooden bushings which were used on old Radio Flyer wagons. I had my wagon from when I was a kid in the fifties . I decided to restore it for my grandsons and all went well until I took the wheels of and found that they had used wooden bushings not metal and they had disintegrated . These nylon bushings were the same dimensions as the axle and hub.I did change the color because my grandson like yellow with green. The wagon should last another hundred years now.

Replacement Shackle Strap - 3-1/8" Long
Good quality, arrive in a fair amount of time, good info on site for trailer owners. Bought shackles bushings and bolts for my dual axel bass boat trailer. Never new how bad they get, glad I checked it in the garage, rather than failed on the road.
Straps seem to be good quality and fit just fine but came unpainted. I wasn't expecting them to be bare steel, but fortunately, I had a can of black Krylon. I'm only disappointed I had to delay the installation by about an hour to, clean, paint, and let dry. lost a star for no paint.

Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long
New bolts made replacement of springs easy
Parts are a 5, delivery options questionable.Can't delivery 10 pounds of metal in a paper mailer. Was tore open on the bottom. I run a mailing business and I can tell you its not that much more expensive to use a box.
