Updated 11/05/2026 | Published 11/03/2026

Question:

I want to purchase spare suspension parts for my travel trailer. Jayco 19MRK 2025. I have a spare leaf spring but want the shackles, bolts and Clovis. For a BAL EXACT HD AXLE MOUNT. This is the axles I have. LCI35-SBSA-86-68.5-NOSP-OS-L-545-7242-18PT V000179565. I CONTACTED BAL and they said I would have to get from Lippert. I just want some spare parts in case I ever broke parts and on the side of the road. I have bought parts from you for my other tt. Thanks

Good afternoon Andy. Thanks for reaching out and for your continued business with us!

Your 2025 Jayco 19MRK has tandem 3,500-lb Lippert axles, and the good news is that we carry the suspension hardware you're looking for. The BAL EXACT axle mounting system shouldn't affect your ability to use standard replacement shackles and bolts.

I recommend the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit # MR46ZR, which includes heavy-duty 2-1/4" shackle straps, wet bolts, locknuts, and bronze bushings. If your existing shackles measure 3-1/8" center-to-center instead, you'll want # MR76ZR.

For replacement equalizers, we have # TREQ104, which measures 5-3/4" between the lower mounting holes, and # TREQ356, which measures 6-1/8". You'll just need to match those dimensions to your existing equalizers. If yours look way different, just let me know as we have other options, in addition to upgraded equalizers if you want to spend a bit more.

These parts would allow you to replace the suspension's standard wear hardware with upgraded, greaseable wet bolts and heavy-duty shackle straps. The ability to grease the suspension helps reduce friction, wear, and noise while extending the life of the components.

One thing I wanted to clarify: when you mention the "clovis," are you referring to the equalizer that connects your leaf springs, or a different bracket or component? I want to make sure we're covering everything you'd like to have on hand for roadside repairs.

Thanks Andrew! As always great customer service willing to go beyond the norm! I will do some measuring and will order the parts on your website. I am referring to the Equalizer. Y shaped part that connects the two leaf springs. Thanks again for your help! Andy

@AndrewN. I wasn’t really looking to upgrade at this time. Just looking for emergency spare parts in case I am broke down on side of road. Will the upgrade kit be compatible if installed on the side of the road with the other parts not replaced or would they all need to be replaced? Do you offer the same oem parts I have? Thanks. Andy

@Andy Yes sir! You can use the MORryde kit to replace individual damaged components without replacing everything else at the same time. It's considered an upgrade because the shackle straps are thicker, the bolts have grease fittings, and it includes more durable bronze bushings. You'll just want to match your existing shackle length and hardware dimensions first. We also carry standard replacement hardware if you'd rather stick with OEM-style parts for emergency repairs as that could save you a few bucks. But I do think the upgrade kit is worth it.

Andrew, I did the measuring and your first recommendation was spot on! You have the equalizer in stock but the MR46ZR UPGRADE KIT will not be available in time for a trip I am going on. I need the parts NLT NOV 12. Do you have an alternative or normal oem parts in stock that I can buy for now? For the kit or individual parts? Shackles and bolts. I just need some spare parts for now not necessarily a full kit Thanks, Andy

@AndyL Hey Andy, Glad the measurements matched up! Since the MORryde kit won't arrive in time (that's unfortunate), I recommend 2 of these 2-1/4" shackle strap packs # LC29RP (they come in pack of 4) and 14 of the 9/16" Suspension Bolts with Locknuts # 166081. These are standard OEM-style replacements and will give you enough hardware to replace all the shackles and suspension bolts on your trailer. You can still use the equalizer we previously discussed. Both parts are listed in stock, so just check the estimated delivery date to make sure they'll arrive in time. As of now they are all showing they'll arrive on time though.

Andy I was on my first rip of the season earlier last year, was my own fault I never checked the shackles, once I got to where I was going 3 hours away and during set up I discovered a broken shackle, how I got to where I was going was a miracle by itself. Fortunately I was able to find a generic replacement at a local auto parts store, another miracle because it was Memorial Day weekend, they were open and had the part, it was not a perfect fit but was in tact which allowed me to go home that weekend. Once I got home and had Internet access I discovered the Lippert greasable shackle set up from E-trailer, I ordered what I need, the kit showed up a couple days later. The installation is time consuming, kind of, once you figure it out on the first side the second went much quicker and easier, all said and done it took me about 3 hours, having an extra set f hands may of helped the time it took. These are great for my 40' 5th wheel with 15K of weight, like everything else on campers why they do n to do this at the factory is a million dollar question. These are a great product and will be putting them on any trailer I get in the future if they do not have them already.
