Video Transcript for etrailer Trailer Suspension 115052 Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at a replacement shackle strap. A shackle strap connects a double aisle leaf spring to a hangar of a single-axle trailer or to an equalizer of a multi-axle trailer. It's going to allow the necessary pivot of the springs to occur for an evenly distributed load between the axles, and also a smooth ride for the trailer. This part number is good for one shackle strap. If we take a measurement, the distance that we have from the center of one hole to the center of the other, that's going to give us the measurement of 2-5/8". Overall length, edge to edge, is around 4".
Overall width from edge to edge is going to give us a measurement of about 1-1/4". The hole diameters, that's going to be 9/16". You can see it's made from a nice durable steel construction. That's going to do it for today's look at the replacement shackle strap.

Worked perfect.

Order received was missing significant pieces as per my notification to customer service. Looks like all parts, nuts bolts flanges were all packed loose in the box, UPS destroyed the package and reboxed, resulting in missing items. Attached picture is what I received.

Fit perfect with the equalizers I also bought from etrailer.

I put them on a double axle goose neck 2-horse straight load that gets used almost 2 days a week this last year. It has made many 100mile trips. I bought it used 8-hrs from home. Bought and installed new tires the next day and jacking it up broke a leaf spring. Put four springs on it using these shackles. Good as new!

Package with straps was mangled in transit. The straps were not there. I called Etrailer and hey immediately sent replacements. Great service.

Correct parts and worked as they should. Replaced springs and hardware on one side of trailer the day i recieved parts.

Good fit for a replacement on my utility trailer. Will probably hit them with a can of spray paint as they're bare metal.
by: Dale 02/13/2024
They are working great.

The spring replacement went well and was easy to complete. It lifted my trailer about 1.5 inches from the top the tire to the fender. It wont rub anymore!!
by: Tim P05/15/2020
The tire blew out on my camper. I changed the tire. I didn’t realize the spring was broke. I ordered springs and shakels and new bolts. It took just over and hour for both sides. Everything I received from etrailer was just as it should be.
Keep up the good job everyone.
Thank you

- Shackle Straps For Trailer With 29-1/2 Inch Spacing Between HangersHi there Shawn, thanks for the question, and for shackle straps, 2 inch center-to-center is really short so I'm not surprised they didn't quite work out. The most common shackle strap size for 29-1/2 inch spacing is the 2-5/8" Long # 115052.
view full answer... - What Should 9/16 Inch Trailer Suspension Shackle Bolts be Torqued ToFrom what I have found 65 to 95 foot pounds is the torque range you will want to be at for 9/16 inch shackle bolts. Our installers generally go to about 70 foot pounds so that is what I recommend.
view full answer... - How Thick and Wide are Shackle Links 115052 and What Are the Bolt Hole SizesThe Shackle Links, # 115052, are 3/16 inches thick. They are also 1-1/4 inches wide; 2-5/8 inches from the center of one hole to the center of the other hole, with a bolt hole diameter of 9/16 inches.

- How to Pick Out Replacement Shackle Bolt and Straps for Trailer Leaf Spring SuspensionBased on the info you gave me I don't know exactly what you would need so your best option would be to measure the diameter and length of the bolts you would need plus the length of the shackle strap. Once you have that info check out the links I attached that are the shackle and bolt pages we have. You would be able to select what dimensions you need from the filters on each page.
view full answer... - What Would Cause Trailer Spring Shackle Straps to Flip Upside DownIs the trailer sitting nose high or low? If the trailer isn't sitting perfectly level that is a typical cause for the shackle straps to flip upside down. Or if they are too short for the application that could cause a problem. I attached a link to a page that shows how to pick out the correct ball mount to allow a trailer to be towed as level as possible plus a link to a page that has all of our shackle straps.
view full answer... - Why are Shackle Straps Flipping on Boat TrailerThere are a few reasons why your shackle straps might be flipping on your boat trailer. One is that you are using straps that are too short; 2-5/8" straps such as # 115052 are typically used on triple-axle trailers. Another possibility is that your trailer is being overloaded causing this to happen; while there could also be worn-out or damaged suspension parts. Any of these reasons could be why your shackles are flipping so you will need to double check to ensure you aren't overloading...

view full answer... - What Material Is Shackle Link Part # 115052 Made Out OfThe Shackle Strap - 2-5/8 Inches Long, # 115052, is made of steel and does not have any corrosion resistant coating applied to the surface.
view full answer... - Why Would Shackle Angle Change on Trailer Suspension After Leaf Spring ChangeShackles should angle away from the hanger so that as the leaf spring stretches when compressed it can add the added length as needed. If you installed new springs it's not uncommon to see that distance seem smaller since leaf springs have a tendency to stretch over time.
view full answer... - Determining Correct Shackle Strap Size for Top Brand Tandem Axle TrailerTrailer manufacturers don't usually keep a record of parts like these that they install at the factory, so I cannot be sure as to the exact length of the shackle strap that would have come originally on your trailer. With this in mind, a 3-1/8 inch long shackle like what you have is typically used on single-axle systems and would be a bit strange on a tandem axle trailer. The most common size for the type of trailer you have is a 2-5/8 inch shackle strap like # 115052. You will simply...
view full answer... - Correct Length of Trailer Suspension Shackle LinkIn order to retain the same suspension geometry, when you replace shackles you should use the same length replacements. Going with a shackle that is too short will not allow enough articulation in the suspension, and cause a very rough ride. Using a shackle that is too long will allow too much articulation and can cause the suspension to bottom out.
view full answer... - Changing Shackle Strap Length to Maximize Weight Capacity on Sagging TrailerThe first thing I would check on your trailer is the capacity of the springs. You need to be sure the spring capacity is rated at 1/2 the axle capacity. That way 2 springs equal the capacity of the trailer axle for proper fit. Check the arch of the springs with a level top of spring to top of spring to tie bolt. Next, check your tire size. At some time the tire size and wheel size may have been changed from the stock size. If the stock size is known you can return to that size and it would...

- What Is The Thickness Of Shackle Strap # 115052The thickness of the replacement shackle strap # 115052 is 3/16 inches thick, it is 1-1/4 inches wide, 2-5/8 inches from center of hole to center of hole, and has a bolt hole diameter of 9/16 inches. I attached a review video link below.

- Can Longer Shackle Straps be Added to Tandem Axle TrailerWhen replacing shackle straps they should be the same length as the ones that were previously on your tandem axle trailer; replacing them with longer straps will result in additional play in your trailer suspension which could lead to additional wear or other issues and longer ones are not going to provide you with added benefit. For a tandem axle trailer it is common to have 2-5/8" shackle straps such as part # 115052. I recommend using these if they were the same length as your previous...

- Advice For Installing Leaf Springs on a Double Axle TrailerThe easiest way to accomplish this would be to start on one side of the trailer and get the springs in place before bolting the axle to the springs with the u-bolts. Have the axle up on jacks or blocks so its weight is not bearing on the springs. Once the springs are in place on both sides, the shackles will be in the correct orientation so you can attach the axles. The key is to do one side of the trailer at a time. I have included an FAQ article on double eye and slipper springs below.

I have also linked a picture of a shackle link showing where to measure. Measurements for replacement 1) Measure current shackle from center of one eye to center of the other eye 2) You can also often determine the shackle length from the type of suspension system you have This section is about half way down the page and is titled Shackle Straps.

- Effect of Installing Shorter Shackle Straps on Trailer with Axle Over-Under KitTo slightly lower your trailer that has had an "axle flip" kit installed you would want to use slightly shorter shackle straps, not longer ones. Shorter shackles will let the axle rest closer to the trailer frame, which lowers the trailer height. If you refer to the linked article on trailer suspensions you can see the included diagrams that show both tandem and single-axle configurations. This will help you visualize the effect of installing shorter shackle straps. I also linked our main...
view full answer... - How Thick is Replacement Shackle Strap - 2-5/8" Long - Galvanized Item # 115052GALVOur demonstrator measured shackle strap # 115052GALV when he made the video, linked for reference, and determined that the thickness is approximately 1/4 inch. There can be variations in the manufacturing process so a range of 3/16 to 1/4 inch will cover those tolerances.
view full answer... - Shackle Replacement Recommendation for 2-1/2 inch Center to Center Trailer ShacklesThe closest looking option would be the part # 115052GALV which has 9/16 inch diameter holes and has a distance of 5-5/8 inches between the hole centers. I attached a page that has all of the shackle links we offer.
view full answer... - Replacement Shackle Strap and Bolts for 2002 Carry-On TrailerYou should get the Replacement Shackle Strap - 2-5/8" Long # 115052 along with the Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long # 166081. These will work well for your 2002 Carry-On Trailer with 2,000 lb axle.
view full answer... - Are Longer Shackle Straps Needed When Using Equa-Flex Equalizer LC279687 To Replace 6-1/6 EqualizerThe Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers part # LC279687 measures 5-1/2" between the lower two most bolt holes. If you will be using this to replace an equalizer which measures 6-1/6" between the lower two most bolt holes you can and I do recommend installing longer shackle straps in order to offset the difference. If the existing shackle straps are 2-1/4" then I recommend a 2-5/8" part # 115052. I have attached an install/review video on the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers as well.
view full answer... - Are Longer Shackle Straps Needed for Equa-Flex Cushioned EqualizersThank you so much for the photo with the dimensions it was very helpful. And based on the measurements you gave, I do recommend using slightly longer shackle straps with the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279687. What I recommend is the 2-5/8" Long Replacement Shackle Strap # 115052.

- Can I Use 1/2" Longer Shackle Straps for My Trailer SuspensionIf 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.

Great replacement for a car hauling trailer built from a house trailer frame that had badly warn suspension parts. These suspensions worked perfectly.
