etrailer Shackle Strap Review Video

Easy lube spindles are not compatible with Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors. You could use the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors if you remove the zerk fitting. You really do not need Bearing Buddies though. The whole purpose of Bearing Buddy…

If the Bearing Buddies are not the correct size or are not driven in straight then they can fall off due to the centrifugal force when the wheels spin. To ensure you get the right size you can go by the bearing numbers of the hubs or measure the…

Shackle bolts have a nut that needs to get held with a wrench or socket while tightening them down. If you didn't use a wrench or socket when you initially installed the shackle bolts you could go back now with one so that you can tighten…

When it comes to shackle straps on a trailer suspension it really boils down to what looks correct. Since leaf springs and equalizers can be switched out (especially on older trailers), longer or shorter shackle straps can be used to help make sure…

As your axles measure 35" apart from center to center but the frame hanger spread (FHS) measured 58-3/4", you did go the correct way. The axle spacing is definitely important, but the FHS is more so. Just be aware that you axle spacing may…

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 had (…

Building a single axle trailer you will need the following items to install leaf springs. I have listed the part numbers for the PR626 Springs next to the items needed. 2 Springs - #e27SR 2 Front Hangers - #115917, 1-1/2 inch tall or #28-5, 3-1/4…

Thanks for the picture and all of the information! Those dimensions do not match up to a leaf spring we currently have but I do have a close option which I think will work. When leaf springs are measured for replacement we ask people to jack the…

The shackles on your equalizers should be pointing up when the trailer is under its weight on the ground, and will only point down like you mentioned when the trailer is in the air and the axles are off the ground. It is pretty common for one side of…
