Replacement Equalizer Measuring 6-1/8 Inches Long

Question

Question:

I am looking for a equalizer and shackle kit for a 1971 Double Brand Horse trailer. The Shackles are 2 5/8, the equalizers are 6 1/8inch and the bolts are the standard 9/16inch X 3 Do you have a kit for this?

I do have all of the parts you need but unfortunately they are not offered in an all inclusive kit. Instead, you would need to purchase them separately. For this, you can use part # TREQ356 for the equalizer, part # 115052 for the shackle strap, and part # 166081 for the shackle bolt.

I have attached a review video on each of the above parts for you as well.

Answer 6

Because of its Zinc finish, the #TRFA73Z916DLNZ shackle bolt would definitely do a better job resisting corrosion than the #166081 bolt with its raw steel finish.
