Jeff Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this 3 1/8 inch long replacement shackle strap. Now this shackle strap will connect to your double eye leaf spring to your rear hanger of a single axis trailer. Or to the equalizer of a multi axle trailer. Now shackling the two components allows the necessary pivot of the spring for evenly distributed load.
And between the axles and a nice smooth ride for your trailer. This is a steel construction. It is heavy duty. Few spec on this. The length, when we say this is a 3 1/8 inch long strap, what we're measuring is from the center of this hole to the center of that hole.
So if we put our ruler on it, center to center, there's your 3 1/8 inch measurement. Overall length from end to end, is gonna be right at 4 3/8 inches. The width of it is right at 1 1/4 inches. Thickness of the strap is about 3/16 of an inch. The bolt hole diameter is 9/16 of an inch.
And this for a quantity of one shackle strap. But that should do it for the review on the 3 1/8 inch long replacement shackle strap..

Bought shackles bushings and bolts for my dual axel bass boat trailer. Never new how bad they get, glad I checked it in the garage, rather than failed on the road.
Straps seem to be good quality and fit just fine but came unpainted. I wasn't expecting them to be bare steel, but fortunately, I had a can of black Krylon. I'm only disappointed I had to delay the installation by about an hour to, clean, paint, and let dry. lost a star for no paint.
Listing title leads you to expect Galvanized finish but they are bare metal no coating at all.

These used to be galvanized however they now come with a bare steel metal finish. We do have other galvanized straps such as part # CE14103G which is 2.75 inches long, part # 18-11GALV which is 2.25 inches long and part # 115052GALV which is 2.62 inches long.
The springs installed easily and fit perfect. Shipping was early too. Great service.
Shackles were just what I expected. Packaging was disappointing. Heavy package: 8 schackles, 8 bolts, 8 nuts, 8 bushings all in a brown enlelope, which couldn't hold the weight and tore open during shipping. Found half the bolts on the street near my mailbox. Luckily all parts are accounted for. Please box loose parts!
The straps were lost out of the envelope the first time they were shipped. Received an empty envelope. Customer service was great and shipped the straps again. They were received.
This shacle strap is exactly the same as the part being replaced. These worked as promised. Check out the photo and notice how bad the old hanger was!
Great product, only thing that I had to do once it arrived was wipe them down and spray a few quick coats of paint on them to prevent rust.
Great customer service and fast deliver y!
Didn’t get them yet I don’t know
Found product on line, called for specs and ordered. Product was shipped that day. Quality was excellent. I would order again from etrailer.

working very well as designed
One year later and still holding up well. Recently did a brake job and took the time to inspect the suspension work I did with etrailer's parts last Thanksgiving. Everything is in tip-top shape. I'd order from etrailer again because they make it easy to be certain you are getting the right parts.
The shackles are very heavy-duty and the holes fit a 9/16" bolt perfectly. Unfortunately the galvanize finish was extremely rough and varied from no coverage to very thick lumps. There were also very sharp-pointed protrusions of galvanize. I stripped the galvanize off with diluted muriatic acid in about 25 minutes. I then painted the shackles a satin black and they look awesome against gold-colored cadmium plated bolts, washers, and nuts. I'm very happy with the shackles and would suggest that primer or black paint be an option to the galvanize.
Ordered springs and u-bolts for a trailer I was repairing. When the package came it was missing parts because of USPS machines damaged it! Emailed etrailer about it and received the parts in two days! What a surprise, so glad I was able to get trailer back up and running!!
Very good quality and fast delivery. I can't wait to install on my trailer. I will order again from etrailer. Thanks etrailer

It is working out fine. Trailer is level now. No wear on tires. Thanks etrailer.
Fast delivery, product as described online. Used on a 1999 Carmate trailer. Works great!
Excellent product, great and efficient service. At no fault of etrailer.com, the package sat in Columbus, Ohio Post Office where I live, for three days. UPS gave the package to the Post Office, then the package was delivered three days later. The UPS-USPS partnership slows down delivery by a few days.
Completely restored our 1987 8x 10 trailer, turned out great. I found all the required parts from etrailer. Shipping was fast. etrailer was excellent to deal with. Thanks etrailer, best regards
etrailer goes all the way for there customers. My item came damaged missing and with a call they are taking care of the problem thank e trailer for all your service
Exactly what I needed, several lengths available to fit many applications
Perfect fit for my Express boat axle, replaced Springs and axle kit, look forward to many years of service.
Worked as advertised, good quality product. Shipping was fast as well and the folks at etrailer maintain great communication.
Great product and really easy to install. I changed all of the components under my trailer and it is riding better than before.
Thanks
Well made (looks like a stamping), fit well. No troubles with installation.
Heavy Gauge, excellent Galvanized coverage, and it worked perfect on my Boat trailer
