Question:
I have a tandem axle utility trailer with shackles that have seized up. The shackles are 2 5/8 center to center and the curved equalizer is 6 3/8 center to center in width. What shackle kit with bronze bushings would you recommend? If I need to provide more info please let me know.

Expert Reply:
Hey Brian, the replacement shackle part # 115052 that you referenced is the correct replacement shackle you would need as is the correct length.
Then for a set of 4 bronze bushings you would want the Dexter part # K71-291-00. Are you wanting replacement wet bolts as well? If so we have those with part # 126B2.
