Join me in our RV shop, where I’ll explain why checking the thickness of your RV shackle link is so important. Ensuring the right thickness is key to the safety and stability of your RV.
Did you know there are heavy-duty shackle link kits available? These kits come with wet bolts and nuts for added strength and durability, giving you extra peace of mind on the road.
Upgrade your standard suspension kit to a heavy-duty one for improved stability and performance on the road. Is your travel trailer or fifth wheel ready for the enhancement? Let me introduce you to the Heavy-Duty Shackle Link Wet Bolt Kit—it’s the perfect solution for boosting durability and safety during your travels.
Did you know the standard shackle link thickness is 3/16″ and the heavy-duty is 1/2″? That is a huge difference between the two!

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
If the trailer frame and brackets are subpar, the thicker shackles wont matter.
Actually, stronger shackles could transfer the stress and destroy the frame.
Shackles are cheap to replace – the frame is not.
I installed confront ride suspension on my. Fifth wheel with slipper springs only 2 shackle bolts per side less moving parts less problems.
All metals have differing strength capabilities. How come this is not discussed.
