TruRyde Trailer Suspension - Leaf Spring Suspension - TREQ310 Review Video

The Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers #K71-448-00 will work with tandem-axle trailers with a 1-3/4 inch double eye spring. The equalizers are 4 inches tall and are 6 inches long from center-hole to center-hole. The shackle…

Shackle straps can actually flip if they're too short as opposed to being too long, so it makes sense because you mentioned you put on shorter, 2-1/2" shackle straps. Also, if the leaf springs you replaced are shorter than what you…

Since we do not have a Shelby jack mounting bracket that goes to the discontinued Shelby Jack #5876A8, I have no way to confirm whether or not a Fulton jack will fit it. With that being said, the Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack #F1411300301 is…

Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have…

The first and easiest thing you should check is that the trailer is being towed level. If the trailer is nose high or low that can cause the equalizers to not sit level. You will need to select the correct rise/drop ball mount so that the trailer…

You can check the condition of your hub's races by carefully removing all bearing grease with a rag to expose the actual surface of the races. When they are completely free of grease, etc., inspect them for any signs of scoring (very slight…

You could do that, but in order to get the height increase, you'll also need to go with taller front and rear spring hangers. For instance, if your current equalizers are 2 inches high, and you switch to the #TREQ310 equalizer which would add two…

You could use a taller equalizer but you would also need to use taller front and rear hangers as well. Everything will have to be raised equally so if you go up 2 inches in one spot you have to go up 2 inches in all spots. If you do not raise it at…

Well shackle length is mainly based on the height difference between the front and rear hangers. The rear hanger normally doesn't hang as low as the front so that the shackle can offset the difference and add the ability to move. What is the…

You can use taller equalizers but you will likely have to add taller hangers too so that everything increases in height the same. Otherwise you will have a suspension that is not level. I have included a link to the hanger main page for double-eye…

There is no specific torque rating for shackle bolts. Basically for the middle bolt there should be enough free play in the shackles to allow them to move. Tightening the shackle bolts too much will squeeze the shackle straps against the leaf springs…

Trailer manufacturers don't usually keep a record of parts like these that they install at the factory, so I cannot be sure as to the exact length of the shackle strap that would have come originally on your trailer. With this in mind, a 3-1/8…
