Expert Reply:
Thank you so much for the photo with the dimensions it was very helpful. And based on the measurements you gave, I do recommend using slightly longer shackle straps with the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279687.
What I recommend is the 2-5/8" Long Replacement Shackle Strap # 115052.
