Question:
I am ordering a pair of your e34SR leaf springs for my single axle 2-3/8 trailer. Which Hangers, Shackle straps and related bolts would I need to complete the project. I dont want to reuse any of the old hardware. Thanks.

I would be happy to help but first you will want to take some measurements of the hangers and shackle straps you currently have to determine which ones you'll need. Longer or shorter on the shackle straps and hangers will change the ride height of your trailer.
The Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit for Single Axle Trailers item # K71-358-00 would work great with the 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring item # e34SR you're purchasing. The included shackle straps have a length from center of bolt hole to center of bolt hole 3-1/8". It's important that you get ones as close to the same size or the exact same size as possible.
If you would like a specific recommendation please feel free to email me back with the dimensions of your shackle straps and your hangers. You can also leave them in the comments below. Hope to hear from you!

Jerred, I didn't see where you recommended the hanger brackets/bolts that will attach the e34SR to the 2-3/8" axle. It looks like K71-258-00 is just the shackle. Thanks. Michael

Thank you Jerred. My shackle is 3-1/4" center of bolt hole to center of bolt hole so it looks like the 3-1/8" shackle will work fine.
