Hey Charles, when measuring your trailer suspension shackles you need to measure from hole center to hole center. Let me know what you have and I'll help you pick out what you need. The part # AP233 has shackles which are 2-1/4 inches long which is pretty common.

Hey Charles, did measuring from hole center to hole center help you find the right shackles for your trailer? I'm asking because it could help others who are figuring out their trailer suspension needs.
