Heavy Duty Shackles for Dexter 6K Axle with 1-3/4 Inch Springs
Question:
I have the Dexter tandem 3in 6k axles on a Jayco 5er. The springs measure 1.80 wide with digital micrometer. Which shackle kit do I need & can they be used with the Never Fail bushings instead of bronze, just no grease
asked by: A.Young
Expert Reply:
We do have a kit that will work with your 6,000 lb axle with your length of springs. The Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit # K71-358-00 uses 1/2" thick steel shackle straps though would not be compatible with Never Fail bushings because the kit includes wet bolts cannot be used with Never Fail Bushings.
Please keep in mind that for a tandem axle you are going to need two of these kits. I've added a link to a video review of the kit for you to take a look at.
