Video Transcript for Review of TruRyde Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension - Suspension Bolt and Locknut - TRFA73Z916DLNZ

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the three inch long, 9/16 diameter Zinc Shackle Bolt with the locknut for your trailer leaf springs. Now, this 9/16 diameter shackle bolt is used to mount your leaf spring to your trailer's front or rear suspension hanger, and this part will include the locknut that secures the bolt to the hanger. Both these parts are a corrosion resistant zinc finish. This is for a quantity of one bolt and one locknut. Now, few dimensions, we'll start with the bolt itself, we mentioned the diameter on this, it's gonna be right at 9/16 of an inch.

The bolt head size or the socket size you would use on this, it's gonna be 13/16 of an inch. Now, the length under the bolt head to the very end of the bolt is gonna be right at three inches, the usable length, which would be from under the bolt head to where the thread starts, is 2 3/8 inches, and just the thread length is about 5/8 of an inch. Now, the thread size on this is 9/16 by 18 threads per inch, and the lock nut, which will install right on here, when you go to install it, that's gonna have a diameter or head size of 7/8 of an inch. But that should do it for the review on this three inch long, 9/16 diameter Zinc Shackle Bolt with the locknut for your trailer leaf springs.

Parts are a 5, delivery options questionable.Can't delivery 10 pounds of metal in a paper mailer. Was tore open on the bottom. I run a mailing business and I can tell you its not that much more expensive to use a box.



by:

Ideally, the shoulder of the bolts should be long enough to extend all the way through the spring and shackle so that the threads are not subject to load or moving parts. The treads are the weakest portion of any bolt and should only be exposed to tension, not sheer loads. This being trailer hardware, I guess that design factor is not a high priority. Just seems like it could be done right with just a smidge more effort or consideration. That said, the original bolts I removed had only a slightly longer shoulder and one-half the shackle was riding on threads and it held up for years, although it was worn considerably more in the threads.

What can I say they are bolts they are still bolted in!

Wth rusted out leaf springs on my trailer but with zero experience replacing them, I contacted etrailer and Shawn was very helpful in selecting the right parts and taking me through the process. She was patient in terms of helping me take the right measurements and suggesting the bolts and pieces I needed to do the job right.

Everything came well packaged and complete two days later. An hour after that the springs were in my trailer and now has a boat sitting on it.

Thanks!



by:

We appreciate your great service!



by:

I have not been able to use parts as UPS lost one entire shipment, damaged another shipment and etrailer left some parts out of the replacement shipment. I want to replace all the items on my trailer together in one day.

Anyways, your company has been good about fixing the issues.

I hope UPS pays for the damage and lost shipments.

  • Axle Weight Capacities Compatible with Lippert Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit LC696740
    The Lippert Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 is rated for use with two axles that each have a weight rating up to 8K so it will be fine to use with your two 5200-lb axles. The rubber cores in these equalizers will absorb much of the road shock and chucking that occurs with standard non-cushioned equalizers. If you need shackle bolts you can use # TRFA73Z916DLNZ for standard bolts/locknuts or part # 126B2 for a wet bolt that has a built-in grease zerk fitting for using...

  • Cushioned Equalizer with Bolts and Shackle Straps for 2018 Diamond Cargo Enclosed Trailer
    For the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279688, the manufacturer lists the Lippert Components Tandem Axle Equa-Flex AP Kit - Wet Bolts - 3-1/8" Long Shackles # LC64FR as a related kit and that would be my recommendation. This is a great option, but you can alternatively use regular bolts like # TRFA73Z916DLNZ or wet bolts # 126B2 which will work better than the regular bolts. Then use regular shackle straps # TRSL313.

  • What is the Pin Diameter of 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Dacromet
    The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles part # e48SR is designed for a 9/16" diameter bolt like the Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut part # TRFA73Z916DLNZ. If you were to remove the included nylon bushing the hole diameter would be 11/16" diameter. For example, if you wanted to replace the nylon bushing with bronze you'd need the Leaf Spring Bushing part # LC32SV.

  • Trailer Suspension U-Bolt and Shackle Bolt Torque Values
    The axle U-bolt torque spec will depend on the bolt diameter- • 5/16 inch- 65 ft/lbs • 1/2 inch- 45-70 ft/lbs • 9/16 inch- 65-90 ft/lbs • 5/8 inch-100-120 ft/lbs • 3/4 inch-160 ft/lbs Shackle bolts don't typically have a specific torque value. They're usually tightened until the knurled portion of the bolt pulls completely into the shackle strap and the bolt head is ran all the way down to the shackle strap and you have at least 2 threads extending past the face of the nut.

  • Are Other Parts Required When Replacing Trailer Equalizer With Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers
    I have attached a photo of the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers, part # LC279688 you can check out. The dimensions are noted on the photo. As long as your axle is within the 6,000 to 8,000-lb capacity these will work for you. While you are changing out the equalizers you may want to consider new bolts and nuts. I recommend part # TRFA73Z916DLNZ. This is a Zinc shackle bolt with a locknut.

  • Can I Use the Road Armor Equalizer on my 2018 Heartland Wilderness 2575RKS with 35" Axle Spacing
    Yes. You can use a Lippert Road Armor # LC696740 on your 35" spaced axles on your 2018 Heartand Wilderness 2575RKS. Depending on the dimensions of your existing equalizer, you may need longer shackle straps; typically this application requires using a 3-1/8 shackle link like the Shackle Strap - 3-1/8" Long # TRSL313 for axles that are 35" apart. If you want to replace the bolts in your system you can use the Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long # TRFA73Z916DLNZ...

  • Recommended Leaf Springs for a 2007 R-Travel Trail-Lite Bantam F-17
    The SumoSprings # TSS-106-40 will definitely help with the swaying and body roll, if the springs are getting worn out they can definitely contribute to sway and not sitting level. This is most likely what is also causing the side walls of the tires to make contact with the trailer body. With that being said, the Trailer Leaf Spring # e54SR will be the closest we have to your current springs. The bushing are included with this spring, but you will need to use add the # TRFA73Z916DLNZ Shackle...

  • Should Nuts and Bolts Be Replaced When Installing New Trailer Equalizers
    The bolts would have the same thread pitch as the nuts. The reason why you could only get the nut tightened a few threads is because the nuts that are used are lock nuts. It is recommended to use new hardware, nuts and bolts like the Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut, part # TRFA73Z916DLNZ, when replacing the equalizers. You would need to measure your old hardware to determine which replacement bolts you will need. I have linked all the suspension bolts we have available and a video of...

  • Recommended Shackle Bolt for 2,000 lb Utility Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension System
    The Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long # TRFA73Z916DLNZ is a grade 5 bolt. Your setup as described is a standard setup for leaf spring hangers and double eye leaf springs. The # 166081 is made by the same manufacturer and is used more commonly than zinc plated for most factory applications. The cost difference comes down to supply and demand. The Dexter bolt # 007-003-01 is simply a different manufacturer that has a big name in the trailer axle market. ...

  • Installation Bolts for Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers
    You will need at least 10 bolts for the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279687, and those bolts are the Zinc Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs # TRFA73Z916DLNZ. The reason I say "at least" 10 is because you would need additional bolts if you wanted to replace the bolts that attach your leaf springs to your hangers. What I recommend is getting all of the necessary bolts, shackle straps and nuts with one kit that is designed to work with the Equa-Flex, the Lippert Components...

  • What Is The Purpose Of Steel band On Leaf Springs
    The leaf springs are normally installed with the band forward of the axle, but it is not something that has to be done that way. The steel band is called the rebound clip. Their main purpose is to help keep the main leaf from breaking on a rebound. When the weight of a vehicle or trailer is on the spring, all of the leaves work together to support the spring above them. If the wheel drops for any reason the total weight of the axle falls on the main leaf if there are no rebound clips....

  • Leaf Springs Replacement For My 2003 Forest River Sierra F37 5th Wheel
    In order to get the correct size leaf spring for your 2003 Forest River Sierra F37 you need to measure from center of one side of the spring roll to the other with no weight on the axle. There are different length springs for a 6000lb axle. If your spring eye measurement is 26" you need 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long Item # e94SR.

  • Will Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit Help With Up and Down Movement Of Trailer
    It sounds like you have a lot of up and down movement in your travel trailer while going down the road. The Road Armor Shock Absorbing Kit part # LC696740 is a better option then the MORyde kit to help eliminate some of that movement because it provides about 3" more of suspension travel capability for a smoother ride. The cushioned Road Armor system will absorb the road shock to help eliminate the up and down movement you are experiencing. I have attached the dimensions of the equalizers...

  • Will the Never Fail Bushings Work On a Grand Design Momentum
    The Never Fail Bushings part # LC279684 will work with pretty much any trailer with double eye leaf springs. The double eye leaf springs must also be 1-3/4" wide but this is pretty much standard for double-eye leaf spring so as long as you have double eye leaf springs then you should be just fine. Please note, it will be a good idea to replace the eye bolts when you are switching out the bushing so for this you can use part # TRFA73Z916DLNZ.

  • Troubleshooting Tandem Axle Trailer Leaf Springs Hitting Trailer Frame at Equalizers
    It does look like you have shackle straps that are to long and possibly worn out bushings. You can replace your shackles with the 2-1/4" Shackle # LC122487. You will need 8 of these for the entire trailer. I would recommend pulling a couple of the Shackle Bolts # TRFA73Z916DLNZ to determine if they or the Nylon Bushings # TRBU11566 are worn and causing extra clearance which may explain if this is something that just started happening recently. You will need 14 of the bushings and 8 bolt...

  • Hardware Needed With the Road Armor Equalizer Kit
    When using the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740, for bolts you want ten 9/16" suspension bolts part # ABS34FR and 8 shackle straps per axle. The kit you are talking about which is part # LC64FR has the correct parts from Lippert, but not enough of them. The correct shackle straps also depends on your trailer. If you let me know what length your shackle strap is I can recommend those too. The most common size for the type of trailer you have is a 2-5/8 inch shackle strap...

  • Will Adding the Lippert Road Armor Raise My Trailer to an Unsafe Height
    We've seen a lot of our neighbors raise their trailer considerably more than 1/2" without adversely affecting handling on their trailers; many of them use spacer blocks or axle flip kits to gain as much as 4 to 4-1/2" of additional clearance. As long as your trailer tows level with your truck, I don't believe that extra 1/2" of height will have the negative effects you might expect. When it comes to adding the Lippert Road Armor # LC696740 to your 2021 Venture Sporttrek 327VIK, these are...

  • Recommended Replacement Suspension Parts for 18 Foot Bass Buggy Pontoon Boat Trailer
    If the axle isn't bent from being overloaded (wear on outside of tire tread), then you're probably okay. If it's bent, you'd want to replace it. Since you don't know the axle capacity, we can make a pretty good guess if we know the bolt pattern of the wheel/hub as well as the inner and outer wheel bearing reference numbers. Knowing the axle capacity is important, so you can choose the proper replacement parts. We offer a few standard sized 2K and 3.5K axles. To recommend a replacement,...
