When I've parked the trailer for storage, I first use the auto level. After that, I lift front, then lift the rear. Alternating every 1 degree of deviation.
I have had instances when I lifted the trailer high enough for the tires not to touch the ground. There have been times when lowering the trailer so the tires contact the ground, the shackles violently flip back with a loud bang. Other times no noise and the shackles are up.
My trailer has less than 3,000 miles in 4 months; and I purchased it 5 months ago.
Nothing is worn and the tru-tracks are lubed. Just the nature of the beast for me.
Yep, I had the BANG happen when I was lowering my trailer. I'll be more careful when raising it.

I was just greasing my suspension and had the right rear bolt not taking grease. So I powered on the Level-up and raised the entire RV off the ground. Of course after doing that the bolt took the grease no problem.
But I was looking at my equalizer and shackles, and they aren't even close to being able to flip.
That's odd that so many people have had them flip. I guess if you were on unlevel ground and 1 axle was higher than the other when you lifted it I could see it happening.
Just odd 🤔

Did you install shackles with grease fittings or are you referring to the Ez-flex equalizer?
