Expert Reply:
If the shackle straps are within a 1/2" of what you normally had, say the 2-5/8" # 115052 to 3-1/8" # TRSL313, you should be okay to install them. Just make sure that all of your shackle straps match though. If you are using the longer straps only for a section of your suspension setup then that will cause issues for your trailer.
