Heavy Duty Suspension Kit for 3-1/4 Inch Shackle Straps  

Question:

Good afternoon, I am looking to buy K71-359-00 for my dual axle car trailer. The only concern I have is my current shackle strap is 3 1/4 center to center for the bolt holes. What effect will going to the 2 1/4 center to center bolt hole shackle straps have? Thanks in advance for the help

Having a 1 inch difference in the length of the shackle straps would be a pretty drastic change to the amount of articulation you get out of your suspension, so going with that kit wouldn't be advisable.

We don't have a kit that uses longer heavy duty shackles, so you'd need to assemble the parts separately.

• You'd need two of part # K71-358-00
• Two # TREQ104 equalizers
• Two of # TRFA73Z916DLNZ shoulder bolts with nuts

This will provide you the same kit, but with longer shackle straps. The heavy duty shackles included with the # K71-358-00 have 3-1/8 hole spacing which is a minimal difference which won't have any noticeable effect on the ride quality of the trailer.
