Hello Danny, thanks for reaching out. We do offer several wet bolt kits but nothing with a 2-5/8" shackle. Our wet bolt kits come with either 2-1/4" long or 3-1/8" long shackles. if you were to pick from one of those two sizes, the 2-1/4" will definitely be the way to go. The 3/8" difference will not throw off your suspension, and going with slightly shorter shackles is almost always a safe bet.

We do offer a 2-5/8" shackle part # 115052, but nothing in a kit. Doing a kit like the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit # MR46ZR with the 2-1/4" shackles is definitely what I recommend.

Leave a reply below with any other comments or questions and I am happy to get back to you.

Hey Danny, how did things go with the MORryde suspension kit and the 2-1/4" shackles? Your update could make it easier for the next person trying to match their shackle length.

I read your post and did the 2 1/4 and now the equalizer hits the trailer spring, there isn't enough clearance. With the 3 1/8 it seems like they're too tall and will hit the frame, without changing hangers is there anyway to make either of these kits work? @JesseM

@Raef Possibly. What was the hole to hole length of the original shackles? Did you replace your equalizer as well?

Original was 2 5/8. I replaced the equalizer with the exact size and style I removed 7.75". The 3 1/8 shackles give me about 1" from the top of the spring eye to the bump stop on the trailer frame but the spring is not binding on the equalizer. One of my axles are rated for more than the weight of my trailer and boat I figure the longer shackles I'm loosing some equalization but it's the better of the two, your thoughts? @JesseM
