Can Longer Shackle Straps be Added to Tandem Axle Trailer  

Hey Scott, I can certainly point you in the right direction for picking out an equalizer upgrade kit for your 2018 Prime Time Tracer Air 275 travel trailer. You will need to measure your wheel base (aka axle spacing) to determine if you need MORryde…

Well shackle length is mainly based on the height difference between the front and rear hangers. The rear hanger normally doesn't hang as low as the front so that the shackle can offset the difference and add the ability to move. What is the…

The first thing I would check on your trailer is the capacity of the springs. You need to be sure the spring capacity is rated at 1/2 the axle capacity. That way 2 springs equal the capacity of the trailer axle for proper fit. Check the arch of the…

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…

The shackle straps included in the Lippert Tandem Axle Equa-Flex AP Kit - Wet Bolts - 3-1/8" Long Shackles #LC64FR you mentioned are 3-1/8" center to center and 4-3/8" overall length as shown in included diagram. Using the longer…

We have a wet bolt that is closer to what you are looking for with the part #126B2. This is the standard shackle bolt so this would work well.

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…

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…

The Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit part #LC696740 are taller than most other standard equalizers so you'll likely need the longer 3-1/8" shackle straps when using them, the Lippert AP Kit part #LC52SV is a go-to for this as it has…

We have the Ultra Fab hitch part #UF35-946403 which fits frames up to 77 inches in width that would work great on your Work and Play that has a 74 inch wide frame.

Hey Ken, thanks for reaching out! The MORryde ALLTREK 4000 Shock Absorbing Equalizers, 33" Wheelbase #MR89DR or 35" Wheelbase #MR29DR, are a good upgrade to a standard leaf spring suspension and will help to provide a better ride quality…

I recommend staying with the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb #e54SR. This will ensure that you do not have to change other parts of your suspension system and the trailer has the correct ride quality. The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb…
