Question:

Do you sell or know of anyone in the US that sells a HD Shackle strap that is 2-5/8? All I can find in the US is the 3-1/8 and 2-1/4. I did find a place in Canada that sells a 2-5/8 HD shackle strap but I cant seem to find any here for my travel trailer. Thanks

Hey Eric, we only have standard non-heavy duty shackle straps in the length of 2-5/8 inch that you need with the part # 115052.

That's close enough to 3-1/8 inch that if I were you that is what I would go with instead with the part # K71-358-00. The shackles would be a little longer but that won't affect anything. People change shackle strap lengths all the time and it doesn't create any problems. Is there any reason that wouldn't work for you?

Hey Eric, did you find a solution that worked for your travel trailer shackle straps? I'm curious to know if the longer shackle strap option was a good fit for you, as it could help others facing a similar situation.

@JamesonC I did I purchased the correct size strap from the Canadian manufacturer as I didnt want to vary from the original size. They are very heavy duty and I'm happy with them.
