Video Transcript for Review of TruRyde Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension - Suspension Bolt and Locknut - TRFA73Z916DLNZ

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the three inch long, 9/16 diameter Zinc Shackle Bolt with the locknut for your trailer leaf springs. Now, this 9/16 diameter shackle bolt is used to mount your leaf spring to your trailer's front or rear suspension hanger, and this part will include the locknut that secures the bolt to the hanger. Both these parts are a corrosion resistant zinc finish. This is for a quantity of one bolt and one locknut. Now, few dimensions, we'll start with the bolt itself, we mentioned the diameter on this, it's gonna be right at 9/16 of an inch.

The bolt head size or the socket size you would use on this, it's gonna be 13/16 of an inch. Now, the length under the bolt head to the very end of the bolt is gonna be right at three inches, the usable length, which would be from under the bolt head to where the thread starts, is 2 3/8 inches, and just the thread length is about 5/8 of an inch. Now, the thread size on this is 9/16 by 18 threads per inch, and the lock nut, which will install right on here, when you go to install it, that's gonna have a diameter or head size of 7/8 of an inch. But that should do it for the review on this three inch long, 9/16 diameter Zinc Shackle Bolt with the locknut for your trailer leaf springs.

Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long - TRFA73Z916DLNZ

Parts are a 5, delivery options questionable.Can't delivery 10 pounds of metal in a paper mailer. Was tore open on the bottom. I run a mailing business and I can tell you its not that much more expensive to use a box.



by:

New bolts made replacement of springs e asy



by:

Delivered on time, excellent customer phone support, worked as I expected.



by:

Ideally, the shoulder of the bolts should be long enough to extend all the way through the spring and shackle so that the threads are not subject to load or moving parts. The treads are the weakest portion of any bolt and should only be exposed to tension, not sheer loads. This being trailer hardware, I guess that design factor is not a high priority. Just seems like it could be done right with just a smidge more effort or consideration. That said, the original bolts I removed had only a slightly longer shoulder and one-half the shackle was riding on threads and it held up for years, although it was worn considerably more in the threads.

Wth rusted out leaf springs on my trailer but with zero experience replacing them, I contacted etrailer and Shawn was very helpful in selecting the right parts and taking me through the process. She was patient in terms of helping me take the right measurements and suggesting the bolts and pieces I needed to do the job right.

Everything came well packaged and complete two days later. An hour after that the springs were in my trailer and now has a boat sitting on it.

Thanks!



by:

High quality. Fit perfectly.



by:

Can't ask for anything else



by:

They seem good. These and shackles need to be checked every season or two.



by:

I have not been able to use parts as UPS lost one entire shipment, damaged another shipment and etrailer left some parts out of the replacement shipment. I want to replace all the items on my trailer together in one day.

Anyways, your company has been good about fixing the issues.

I hope UPS pays for the damage and lost shipments.

We appreciate your great service!

  • Will Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit Help With Up and Down Movement Of Trailer
    It sounds like you have a lot of up and down movement in your travel trailer while going down the road. The Road Armor Shock Absorbing Kit part # LC696740 is a better option then the MORyde kit to help eliminate some of that movement because it provides about 3" more of suspension travel capability for a smoother ride. The cushioned Road Armor system will absorb the road shock to help eliminate the up and down movement you are experiencing. I have attached the dimensions of the equalizers...

  • Is Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit # K71-358-00 Zinc Coated
    The shackles of the Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit # K71-358-00 are zinc coated but the bolts are not. For zinc coated bolts as well you'd want the # TRFA73Z916DLNZ.

  • Will the Never Fail Bushings Work On a Grand Design Momentum
    The Never Fail Bushings part # LC279684 will work with pretty much any trailer with double eye leaf springs. The double eye leaf springs must also be 1-3/4" wide but this is pretty much standard for double-eye leaf spring so as long as you have double eye leaf springs then you should be just fine. Please note, it will be a good idea to replace the eye bolts when you are switching out the bushing so for this you can use part # TRFA73Z916DLNZ.

  • Picking Out 6-1/8 inch Trailer Suspension Equalizers and Matching Bolts, Bushings, and Straps
    The equalizer you need is part # TREQ356, the bolt you are looking for is part # TRFA73Z916DLNZ, for a bushing you'd want # LC279684, and the closest shackle strap is the # 115052 which has a distance of 2-5/8 inches between bolt hole centers.

  • Will Adding the Lippert Road Armor Raise My Trailer to an Unsafe Height
    We've seen a lot of our neighbors raise their trailer considerably more than 1/2" without adversely affecting handling on their trailers; many of them use spacer blocks or axle flip kits to gain as much as 4 to 4-1/2" of additional clearance. As long as your trailer tows level with your truck, I don't believe that extra 1/2" of height will have the negative effects you might expect. When it comes to adding the Lippert Road Armor # LC696740 to your 2021 Venture Sporttrek 327VIK, these are...

  • Recommended Shackle Bolt For Escort Trailer
    The shackle bolt we offer that measures 3-1/2 inches is part # 166079. This is a 9/16 inch diameter bolt and includes the locknut. We do not offer a shackle bolt that measures 9/16 inch x 4 inches.

  • Axle Weight Capacities Compatible with Lippert Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit LC696740
    The Lippert Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 is rated for use with two axles that each have a weight rating up to 8K so it will be fine to use with your two 5200-lb axles. The rubber cores in these equalizers will absorb much of the road shock and chucking that occurs with standard non-cushioned equalizers. If you need shackle bolts you can use # TRFA73Z916DLNZ for standard bolts/locknuts or part # 126B2 for a wet bolt that has a built-in grease zerk fitting for using...

  • Recommended Replacement Suspension Parts for 18 Foot Bass Buggy Pontoon Boat Trailer
    If the axle isn't bent from being overloaded (wear on outside of tire tread), then you're probably okay. If it's bent, you'd want to replace it. Since you don't know the axle capacity, we can make a pretty good guess if we know the bolt pattern of the wheel/hub as well as the inner and outer wheel bearing reference numbers. Knowing the axle capacity is important, so you can choose the proper replacement parts. We offer a few standard sized 2K and 3.5K axles. To recommend a replacement,...

  • What is the Pin Diameter of 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Dacromet
    The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles part # e48SR is designed for a 9/16" diameter bolt like the Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut part # TRFA73Z916DLNZ. If you were to remove the included nylon bushing the hole diameter would be 11/16" diameter. For example, if you wanted to replace the nylon bushing with bronze you'd need the Leaf Spring Bushing part # LC32SV.

  • Will Road Armor Equalizer Replace Equa Flex Equalizer # LC279687
    The Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 that you referenced is close enough dimensionally to the Equa-Flex equalizer # LC279687 that you have now so it will fit and work well. Bushing come with this already pre installed, for bolts you'd want the part # TRFA73Z916DLNZ but for shackles you'd need to let me know what length you have currently. I attached a link to a page that has all of the shackles we carry as well.

  • Should Nuts and Bolts Be Replaced When Installing New Trailer Equalizers
    The bolts would have the same thread pitch as the nuts. The reason why you could only get the nut tightened a few threads is because the nuts that are used are lock nuts. It is recommended to use new hardware, nuts and bolts like the Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut, part # TRFA73Z916DLNZ, when replacing the equalizers. You would need to measure your old hardware to determine which replacement bolts you will need. I have linked all the suspension bolts we have available and a video of...

  • Are Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Good Replacements For 6 Inch Wide Triangular Equalizers
    So based on the measurements you mentioned, the equalizer you have now is likely the Triangular Equalizer # TREQ310, and for that the best option for an equalizer upgrade kit is definitely the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740. This kit will absorb vibration and give you a much smoother ride by far, and will be a better option than the E-Z Flex due to the height difference. The E-Z Flex is a good kit, but too short for your needs, as there aren't shackle straps that will...

  • Trailer Suspension U-Bolt and Shackle Bolt Torque Values
    The axle U-bolt torque spec will depend on the bolt diameter- • 5/16 inch- 65 ft/lbs • 1/2 inch- 45-70 ft/lbs • 9/16 inch- 65-90 ft/lbs • 5/8 inch-100-120 ft/lbs • 3/4 inch-160 ft/lbs Shackle bolts don't typically have a specific torque value. They're usually tightened until the knurled portion of the bolt pulls completely into the shackle strap and the bolt head is ran all the way down to the shackle strap and you have at least 2 threads extending past the face of the nut. I've linked...

  • Are Other Parts Required When Replacing Trailer Equalizer With Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers
    I have attached a photo of the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers, part # LC279688 you can check out. The dimensions are noted on the photo. As long as your axle is within the 6,000 to 8,000-lb capacity these will work for you. While you are changing out the equalizers you may want to consider new bolts and nuts. I recommend part # TRFA73Z916DLNZ. This is a Zinc shackle bolt with a locknut.

  • Need a 3-Leaf Slipper Spring Kit for my Boat Trailer with 2 Inch Square Axles
    In order to determine which 3-leaf slipper springs will fit, you will need to take a few measurements of the current springs on your boat trailer. I am including a diagram that shows which measurements are needed. The diagram also includes the measurements of the two 3-leaf springs that we have available. Compare your measurements to those to see if we have a match. 3-Leaf Slipper Springs for 1,500 lb Trailer Axles, # SP-178275 3-Leaf Slipper Springs for 3,000 lb Trailer Axles, # SP-039275 Although...

  • Piecing Together an E-Z Flex Equalizer System with 3 Inch Shackle Straps
    Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit # K71-358-00 is exactly what you need though on a tandem axle you would need 2 sets. E-Z Flex System # K71-652-00 does not use wet bolts to hang the equalizer part. It has grease fittings on top for that so you can just use a regular bolt. So you would use # K71-654-00 for the equalizers by themselves, 2 of kit # K71-358-00, and either reuse the hanger bolts you have or use 2 of # TRFA73Z916DLNZ or a similar bolt.

  • What Should the Bolt Diameter be on the Center Hanger to Use with the Curved Equalizer # TREQE34
    If by "perch" you mean center hanger, then you would want the center hole to have a 3/4" diameter like what you find on the hanger part # 115919. This will allow you to use the Shackle Bolt # TRFA73Z916DLNZ or Wet Equalizer Bolt # 126A1 with the Curved Equalizer # TREQE34 and keep the movement at a minimum.

  • Availability of Tandem Axle Equalizer Kit Like # AP233 But With 6-1/8 Long Equalizer # TREQ356
    We do not offer a tandem axle trailer equalizer kit like # AP233 that includes 6-1/8-inch equalizer # TREQ356. However, you can order the individual parts equivalent to a kit. Shackle straps (2-1/4-inch) are part # TRSL225; Shackle Bolt with Locknut is part # TRFA73Z916DLNZ.

  • Can I Use the Road Armor Equalizer on my 2018 Heartland Wilderness 2575RKS with 35" Axle Spacing
    Yes. You can use a Lippert Road Armor # LC696740 on your 35" spaced axles on your 2018 Heartand Wilderness 2575RKS. Depending on the dimensions of your existing equalizer, you may need longer shackle straps; typically this application requires using a 3-1/8 shackle link like the Shackle Strap - 3-1/8" Long # TRSL313 for axles that are 35" apart. If you want to replace the bolts in your system you can use the Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long # TRFA73Z916DLNZ...

  • Determining Correct Replacement Leaf Spring For Trailer W/ 3000lb Axles and 27" Long Springs
    The # SP-210275 you were looking at is for a 3500lb axle and is 27" long measured from center of spring eye to center of spring eye. This is the correct spring for your trailer based on the measurements you provided. The next shortest spring would be 2" shorter which would be much too short. For replacement equalizers we have the # TREQR89 which is 8" long and has a center hole of 9/16", or the # TREQR83 which is 9" long and has a 3/4" center hole. For replacement hardware you can use...

There are different length springs for a 6000lb axle. If your spring eye measurement is 26" you need 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long Item # e94SR.

  • Replacement Suspension Bolts For A 3,500lb Axle
    Hey Corey, Bolt grades for leaf spring suspensions can range from grade 5 to grade 8, with the consensus being that grade 8 is the most preferred. For a 3,500lb axle the Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut # TRFA73Z916DLNZ would be a compatible replacement. When removing the old bolt and installing the new bolt I recommend using a second wrench to make sure the head of the bolt doesn't spin as these have splines to help grip the bolt hole.

    Since you have a 2017 Forest River Wildwood 28 DBUD the bolts used in your suspension should not need to be replaced with the part # LC281285. Unless for some reason your bolts are damaged and need to be replaced you should be good to use just the Never Fail Bushings # LC279685. Please note that Never Fail Bushings are meant to be used with standard bolts like part # TRFA73Z916DLNZ as grease will destroy them.
