Trailer Suspension Hanger Kit that Uses 356 Equalizer or the Individual Parts to Make a Kit

Question

Question:

Do you have a kit that includes the equalizer 356, shackle bolts, bolt sleeves and shackle straps? It appears that my shackle straps are 3 7/8 inch long and possibly 2 9/16 center to center, they have the number 15 stamped on them. Thank you for your help.

No, none of the suspension hanger kits we have use equalizer # TREQ356. You would have to get the parts individually or get a kit with the proper sized hangers and shackle straps and just add additional equalizers.

For a 2-9/16 inch hole center to center shackle strap we have # TRSL256. For bolts you can use # 126B2 for a wet bolt and nut or # 166081 for a regular bolt with nut.

For the hangers though there are lots of options and I don't know exactly what you need so I have included a link to the hanger page for double-eye springs.
