This Racewill kit is built to replace the most stressed parts in a tandem axle suspension: the shackle straps, bushings and hardware. Components are made from corrosion-resistant materials and sized for common 2-1\/4\" leaf spring shackles, so installation returns articulation and alignment without needing to source multiple loose parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat parts are included and how do they fit my suspension?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit contains four 2-1\/4\" shackle straps, four 9\/16\" nylon bushings, and six 9\/16\"-18 x 3\" shackle bolts with locking nuts — enough to service most tandem-axle double-eye leaf spring setups. Use the straps to replace worn links, the bushings to reduce metal-on-metal wear, and the bolts and nuts to secure the assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 × 2-1\/4\" shackle straps sized for double-eye leaf springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 × 9\/16\" nylon bushings for smoother pivoting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 × 9\/16\"-18 × 3\" bolts plus locking nuts for secure fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this kit improve trailer performance on the road?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing worn shackles and bushings restores the designed travel and alignment of the leaf springs, which reduces sway and uneven loading.
