This is a stainless steel boat trailer leaf spring shackle. It measures 2 1/2" from center hole to center hole and has an over all length of 4" with a hole diameter of 1/2". The shackle strap is made from 1/4" thick stainless steel plate to prevent rust in salt water environments. These shackle plates are used to hang a double eye springs on a trailer. They mount on the rear of the spring allowing the spring to lengthen as it absorbs bumps. They are also used in tandem axle trailers to attach the front and rear springs to the middle equalizer bar.

These plates can also be used as frame plates on the bottom of u-bolts, or as general brackets. For this purpose, this shackle will accept 2 inch wide u bolts.
