I have never seen that before, but after the repair, we got half way home and I noticed a second shackle starting to shear. You’d think on an 8500 lb trailer they’d have added heavier duty shackles at the factory.

Not sure about the Mor-Ryde kit but i know the Dexter shackles are about twice as thick as the stock ones.
