2007 Weekend Warrior Toy Hauler Leaf Spring Shackle Replacement

Question

Question:

In need replacement leaf spring shackles for my 2007 Weekend Warrior toy hauler. My current shackles measure 2.5 inches center to center of mounting hole. Will it be a problem to mount the 2.25 inch shackles? no one seems to carry a 2.5 inch. I am looking at the Mor Ryde upgrade kit. 35inch axle spacing, triple axle, 1.75 inch wide leaf spring.

Yes, the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Triple Axle Trailers w Correct Track - 2-1/4" Shackle Straps item # MR38ZR will work great on your 2007 Weekend Warrior Toy Hauler. The 1/4" difference on either side will not affect the function of your suspension or axle.
