Can 2-1/4 Inch Long Shackle Straps be Used in Place of 2 Inch Long Shackle Straps on a Trailer
Question:
I ordered the wrong part.. I ordered these instead of the TRSL200.. will they cause any trouble on a 3500 lb. axle? Thank You!

The only way to know for sure if the 1/4 inch longer shackle straps, # TRSL225 (compared to the 2 inch long # TRSL200) will be a problem is to install them. The longer straps will likely mean they will be at a steeper angle once installed and that could affect the travel of the suspension.
I do recommend not chancing it and go ahead and get the correct shackle straps # TRSL200.
