Worn Spring Shackle plates
I've been working under my daughters horse trailer replacing the springs, axles and all hardware. The shackle plates in the pic below were new 4 years ago. I replaced them as they were real worn...some through the end. These really didn't have that many miles on them either
When I was shopping at the local commercial trailer supply shop I noticed these bullet proof plates from Dexter.
You'll notice they are more than twice the thickness of the generic plate.
If you don't have one of the more upscale setups like many of the trailers mfg'd past 2016, this is a pretty low buck upgrade. I'll be doing this on my Creek Side if I ever get the horse trailer off the cement slab!
