Replacement 2-1/4 Inch Shackle Straps and EQ-356 Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailer
Question:
I have a double tandem trailer that the leaf spring shackles broke. I dont know which parts I need. The current equalizer have eq-356 stamped on them. Shackles are 2 1/4. As for the leaf springs there are rusting and same with the u bolts. Should I want to replace them too since Im there. Can you please help me selecting the correct parts? Thanks

Expert Reply:
You definitely have the right idea of replacing everything if your suspension parts are rusting. To replace the 2-1/4" (center-eye to center-eye) shackle straps I recommend the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers # MR46ZR. This not only comes with the shackle straps but it also comes with the wet bolts, nuts, and bushings for a complete overhaul.
To replace your equalizers you need the part # TREQ356 (unless you want to upgrade to something fancier) and then for your leaf springs I just need to know the weight rating for each of your axles as well as the distance between the center of the eyes when your trailer is jacked up so there isn't a load on the springs.
Attached are some videos for you to check out.
