When installing The Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APT7 there should just enough free play in the shackles to allow them move. You will want to tighten the bolt down until the knurls go through the shackle link or spring/equalizer hanger and the bolt head is flush. The nuts should be snug and not tight.
I attached a review video link below.
