What Size Shackle Straps Should I Use When Installing The Lippert Road Armor LC696740 Kit?
Question:
Hello I was wondering size shackle to use
asked by: Todd
Expert Reply:
Though it will ultimately depend on the size of your current shackles, typically when someone is upgrading to the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740, I recommend also getting the Lippert AP Kit - Tandem Axle Road Armor Wet Bolts and Shackles # LC52SV. This has wet bolts to keep everything from seizing up and beefier 1/2" thick shackles that measure 3-1/8" from center of bolt hole to center of bolt hole. This will usually be perfect for just about anything and everything.
However, if your shackle straps are significantly smaller, we do also have the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers # MR46ZR that uses 2-1/4" shackles that may suit you better.
