Today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Dexter's Single Axle Shackle and Bolt kit. In this kit, you're gonna receive your bolts for replacing both your spring eye and your shackles as well as heavy duty upgraded shackles. This isn't a wet bolt kit. This is just a standard shackle bolt kit, so if you've got your self-lubricating Never Fail style bushings, then this is gonna be great to get your old hardware that may be worn out replaced. We also sell replacement bushings and these springs here if the damage has gone too far beyond just the bolts and the bushings. And here you can see our shackles. They are a little bit thicker than your standard shackles, so that makes them heavy duty. They can stand up to heavier loads a little bit better than the traditional ones that your trailer will come with. That's just gonna help extend the life of your components because if we're holding all of our suspension components in place and everything's pivoting and moving the way it's supposed to, everything's controlled at that point and we're kinda determining how the loads are being dispersed into the frame. Once our bushings and shackles start to wear out and play gets in there, there's a lot of momentum that builds up between the parts and it can really cause it to slam and start to wear out your components. It's no longer in control at that point. Everything's just kinda starting to wear itself apart. So by upgrading everything here and making sure everything is nice and smooth, without any play, that's just gonna further extend the life of your trailer and the rest of its components. Heavy duty replacement shackle bolt kits are a great replacement if you just got one that's worn out. They're gonna be a little bit stronger heavy duty and they are gonna be basically like a direct replacement because it's designed to work with your one and three-quarter-inch wide spring eye leaf spring, which is kinda your standard on these. And they have 9/16th outside diameter for the bolts and 9/16th, so they fit 9/16th inner diameter bushings. Now while this is a nice replacement kit if you're just trying to get your trailer back up and running again. I would recommend though, if you're wanting to have something that's a little bit even more heavy duty and a little bit stronger and something that's gonna last a long time, particularly if you spend time maintaining your trailer, I would recommend Dexter's Heavy Duty Wet Bolt Kit. It's gonna have even thicker shackles at about a half-an-inch thick, so they're gonna be much heavier duty than what these ones are. So, it's a really big upgrade. And the bolts that come included with the wet bolt kit will have zerks at the end, so you can grease it. It also comes with replacement bushings 'cause the bushings that are in here right now that these work with are your Never Fail, your self-lubricating plastic style bushings. And those bushings are great for lighter duty applications, especially if you don't really want to spend time maintaining your trailer and checking it over and stuff like that. If you just wanna hook it up and use it, I would recommend that you stay with the Never Fail bushings, the self-lubricating style. But if you're really adamant about maintaining your trailer and checking it before every trip, the Wet Bolt kit is gonna last a lot longer than the Never Fail as long as you're greasing them. If you're not somebody that wants to spend time greasing though, then stick with these because these will last longer than your wet bolts if you don't grease your wet bolts. But if you do spend time maintaining those wet bolts, they are gonna give you more service life and you're gonna be able to kinda beat them up a little bit more than this style here. You can find both of those here at etrailer and they're both designed to work with your single axle one and three-quarter-inch spring eyes. Now as far as replacing these goes, it's pretty easy. You just have to get your old ones out and these basically just slide right in. Removing the old ones can be difficult, depending if they're kind of seized in there due to rust, if it's all worn out and you got a lot of slop, then they're probably gonna fall out of there pretty easily. This one here had quite a bit of slop in it, so it's gonna come apart pretty easy. If you had a trailer that sat and it had a lot of rust on it, that one you might wanna consider getting some penetrating oil and
