How Deep Are The Tru Ryde Backing Plates TRU96FR

Question

Question:

I wanted to know the measurement of how much the backing plate is set inside of the brake shoes. The current one I have is around 15/16inch or 7/8inch set inside of the brake shoes.

I took a walk out to our warehouse to measure these TruRyde backing plates # TRU96FR. I have attached a few pictures for your reference. The backing plate is not flat on the back, so I measured from the "deepest" part of the plate- the surface with the bolt holes. I would call it 3/4 of an inch. Maybe just a hair under 3/4". It is hard to measure since I do not have a fixed point and you kind of have to eyeball it.

To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…

Most trailer leaf springs will have a bushing in the eyes of the spring. It is interesting that the install video we have for the wet bolt part #126B2 that you referenced does not have a bushing involved at all. In reality all that really matters is…
