Trailer spring bolts

[FMcClaren]

Anybody know were i can get spring shackle bolts

that are drilled an tapped for grease fitting?

or do i have to do it myself?

Those plastic bushings are a joke. Got to be something better.

THANKS Frank

Shackle bolts

Try Dexter Axles @ http://www.dexteraxle.com/ bg

Frank-----If you have Dexter axels, they have a upgrade kit, about $120. 00. I did mine about a year ago. You get all new bolts with zerks ,nuts, links and equalizer links. The links are about twice as heavy(thick) as originals. It's the only way to fly. You will have 10 zerks to grease when completed. If you need some hints use my email address.

Thanks for the replies guys, I went to the Dexter site

and didn,t see anything. I,ll give them a call.

I took it all apart last year and greased everything

and the plastic bushings still wore out.

I think i. ll go with the up grade.

Thanks Royal, I,ve had this thing apart a couple

of times, getting the height to match the truck.

Thanks again

Frank----I forgot to add that the kit has good bronse/brass bushings that replace those worthless plastic ones.

Make sure you get the kit with the same equalizer number that is on your current trailer.

Thanks guys

I just ordered the kit, I did not know about the equalizer

numbers. Keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks again for the replies
