Replacement Shackle Strap and Bolts for 2002 Carry-On Trailer

Question

Question:

My 2002 4x6xt Carrt-On Trailer calls for 2.562 shackle link, would this be equivalent to your 2-5/8 or should I get a 2-1/2? I have a 2,000lb round axle if that helps? Also, looking for 9/16 shackle nut, 9/16 x 3 shackle bolt

You 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.

Yes, going from a 4 leaf to a 6 leaf spring would add slightly to your ride height. For example, if the current 4 leaf spring has 3/8" thick leaves, and you go to a 6 leaf spring with 3/8" thick leaves, you would be adding…
