Replacement Trailer Springs and Shackle Straps for EZ Loader Boat Trailer

Updated 07/25/2017 | Published 07/22/2017

Question:

I am looking to replace the springs and shackles on my ez loader boat trailer. I have a double lopped eye spring at 26inch and the shackles are 7inch long and measure 5 1/4inch from center hole to center hole. I cannot find this shackle anywhere. Also this just seems too long. I have had issues with tire wear on the outside edge of the tread. I am hoping to solve this issue. Does the shackle length sound right to you?

We carry 4 double-eye springs that are 26 inches long. I've linked our selection for you to check them out and choose the weight capacity you need.

Shackle straps that are 5-1/4 inches center on center is very long. The longest we carry is only 3-1/2 inches, part # TRSL350. I recommending replacing the ones you have with shorter straps.
