In this review the Lonffery 2 Packs Trailer Alex Shackle Kit is evaluated for trailer owners who need a straightforward replacement for double eye leaf springs. The bottom line: this kit is best for DIYers and service shops looking for a complete, no-fuss mounting solution because it includes the shackle straps, bushings and bolts required for installation and is engineered for easy installation. It delivers a practical fit for axles typically rated between 3,500lb and 7,200lb and the quality and fit earn repeated positive notes from customers.

Key Features

• Complete kit: The package includes eight 262L shackle straps, eight EQ-E1 bushings and twelve 9/16 bolts and nuts so installers do not need to source extra hardware.
• Fit range: Designed to typically fit axles from 3,500lb to 7,200lb, making it suitable for a wide range of light to medium trailers.
• Compact dimensions: Each shackle strap measures 3-7/8 in long and 1-1/4 in wide, which matches common double eye leaf spring mounting points.
• Ease of installation: Engineered for easy installation, the kit is assembled with standard bolts and bushings to simplify replacement or axle work.
• Included bushings: EQ-E1 bushings are provided to reduce metal-on-metal wear and deliver a more stable connection for the leaf spring eyes.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at trailer owners, mechanics and DIYers who need to replace or reinstall double eye leaf springs on trailers in the 3,500lb to 7,200lb axle range. It is a practical option when the goal is a complete hardware refresh without hunting for matching bolts and bushings, and where exact, commonly used dimensions are required.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers needing heavy duty or custom-length shackles outside the listed 3-7/8 in by 1-1/4 in dimensions, or anyone requiring specialty materials or finishes not specified with this kit. For highly specialized towing setups, a custom fabrication shop may be a better option.
