Nope, heavy-duty shackle straps are either 2-1/4" or 3-1/8", so the closest heavy-duty shackle strap to 2-3/4" would be the the 3-1/8" long, 1/2" thick Dexter Heavy-Duty Shackle Link # DX55FR.

This option will still work for you just fine as it is close enough to the length of your current strap.

Yes, axle spread and wheel base by definition are the same measurements. You will measure from the center of one axle to the center of the 2nd axle to determine what you axle spread is. This may be difficult as some wheels and covers will make this…

The Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit part #LC696740 are taller than most other standard equalizers so you'll likely need the longer 3-1/8" shackle straps when using them, the Lippert AP Kit part #LC52SV is a go-to for this as it has…
