Overview
This R&P Carriages suspension rebuild kit is assembled for tandem axle trailer leaf spring suspension service using long 7-3/4" equalizers and 3.125" shackle straps. It includes the major replacement wear components commonly inspected during a suspension rebuild: equalizers, shackle bolts, lock nuts, shackle straps, and nylon bushings.
R&P Service Insight
Trailer suspension parts should be matched by measurement before ordering. Equalizer length, shackle strap length, bolt diameter, and bushing dimensions all matter for correct suspension geometry.
- Measure First: Confirm that your existing equalizers measure 7-3/4" and your shackle straps measure 3.125" hole center to center.
- Inspect Wear Points: Look for ovaled strap holes, worn bushings, loose hardware, and uneven spring movement.
- Replace as a Set: Servicing the related suspension hardware together helps restore a more consistent pivot setup across the axle group.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Intended for compatible tandem axle trailer suspension setups using long 7-3/4" equalizers and 3.125" shackle straps.
Vehicle / System Fit: Trailer leaf spring suspension with matching equalizer, shackle strap, bolt, and bushing dimensions.
Installation Notes: Support the trailer safely, relieve suspension load before disassembly, and replace worn hardware only after confirming all measurements match.
Performance Insight: Worn shackles, bushings, and equalizer hardware can allow excess movement in the suspension, contributing to noise, uneven wear, and poor tracking.

R&P Repair Insight
Suspension rebuild kits are measurement-critical. A small difference in shackle length or equalizer geometry can change ride height, spring angle, and axle movement.
- Equalizer Check: Match the 7-3/4" equalizer length to your existing suspension setup.
- Shackle Check: Confirm 3.125" hole center-to-center shackle strap spacing before ordering.
- Bushing Check: Confirm that 0.57" I.D., 0.69" O.D., 1.75" long nylon bushings match your application.
