Loose Shackle Bolts From Factory??? *PICS*
While under my brand new TT this afternoon giving everything a once over and just trying to familiarize myself with everything under neath, I noticed the nuts for the shackle bolt wasn't tightened all...

Yeah, I noticed you took it into account. I just didn't get it deleted quick enough. :) I fixed the same problem with a MorRyde wet bolt and heavy duty shackle kit.
You did the right thing with the MorRyde parts. I looked at their thick shackles and was impressed by the smooth bored holes.
I think one of the many issues for trailer suspension failure is the punched holes in the shackles. When punching a hole there is a sheared portion and the remainder is called break where the hole is oversize and rough. Look at the photo, near the beginning of the thread, and you can see the inside of a shackle hole. The weight is supported by only the sheared surface of the already too thin shackle.
