What is Advantage of Never Fail Tandem Axle Suspension Upgrade Hardware Kit Over Other Options
Question:
Hello eTriler / James, I a previous question Jamesons was able to provide me a good answer, I am still did not convince that the Never Fail kits are best for me, heres why. I had a shackle failure on my 5th wheel, please see attached picture. As you can see the hole oblong out until the end became so thin that the bolt broke out of the shackle. Also, you can see the that the bolt wore away where it met the shackle. The Never Fail kits talk about a heavy duty bushing but not about any improvements to the bolt or shackle. To me a shackle double in size 1/2 instead of 1/4, would give me longer life. More surface contact, more strength. If the Never Fail kits indicated that the steal they used was hardened or of a stronger alloy I might be more convinced. Is there anything you can add that would sway me to one direction or another? Thank you

Expert Reply:
The Never Fail upgrade kits like the # LC281285 have two really distinct advantages. One of them is what you mentioned and is that they don't require greasing or any maintenance. The other is that they last about twice as long as any other heavy duty style of bushing kit. You'll get easily twice the mileage from this kit over anything else.
