Question:
Im looking to upgrade my stock equalizers, shackles and shackle bolts but Im not sure which shackle upgrade kits to get. I have a Venture Stratus SR281VBH. I am wanting to upgrade to the Road Armor equalizers but Im not sure what shackle kit to get. Do I need the 2.25 or 3.125 shackles? Thank you in advance. Regards

Finding the right kit will require measuring the existing shackle straps on your 2023 Venture RV Stratus SR281VBH. I recommend getting the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers. The kit includes 1/2" thick shackles, wet bolts, and bronze bushings. If your center hole to center hole measurement is 2-1/4" you need the # MR46ZR and for 3-1/8" the # MR76ZR.
Before getting the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 I would also measure the existing equalizers. The most important measurement to get is the distance between left and right bolt holes. When you upgrade your equalizer you want to keep the measurements as close as possible to what you currently have.
The Road Armor is 6" wide from the left to right bolt hole. It is also 3-1/4" tall from the side bolt hole to the hanger bolt hole. If your equalizers are vastly different in size you should consider a different replacement. If you send me those measurements I would be happy to see what the best upgrade is for your trailer.
