Determining The Correct Replacement Shackle Straps For A 2016 Night Hawk Tandem Axle Trailer
Question:
Hello. I have a 2016 Night Hawk 12 tandem trailer. I need to purchase 8 of the center leaf spring shackles that con ect the leaf springs to the center pivot piece right between the tires. Mine are worn out and about to wear through. Where would I be able to purchase these from? Thanks for your time! James

To determine the correct replacement shackle straps for your trailer's suspension you'll want to measure from center to center of the eyelets (pictured below). The most common sizes are 2-1/4" or 3-1/8", but there are some other sizes so it's important to measure what you currently have. You could get standard replacements like part # TRSL313 or upgraded to thicker ones with wet bolts like part # MR76ZR. Just let me know what measurement you get and I'd be happy to list out both options for you.
