Features to know about

Solid Mount That Restores Suspension Strength: 7-Gauge Galvanized Steel Hanger

When worn hangers start to flex or rust, your suspension loses its steady feel. This CE Smith front hanger bracket brings it back with 7-gauge galvanized steel construction that’s built to last. It connects the eye of a slipper spring to the trailer and gives it a rigid, stable mount point that keeps the suspension tracking straight mile after mile.

Corrosion Resistance for Long-Term Use: Hot-Dipped Zinc Coating

Saltwater, rain, and road grime can eat through bare metal fast. This bracket is hot-dipped in zinc for a thick 3-mil to 5-mil coating that resists rust and corrosion. The finish protects every side of the steel so it stands up to years of use without pitting or flaking, even in harsh environments.

No-Weld Installation Made Simple: Bolt-On Design with Precise Hole Sizes

Welding isn’t always practical for quick repairs or upgrades. This hanger bolts directly to the underside of the trailer frame—no welding required. It’s drilled with three top holes (two 7/16" and one 1/2") and lower spring eye holes at 9/16" diameter to fit standard hardware. The inside width is 1-7/8", and it’s sized for 1-3/4" wide slipper springs, so everything lines up cleanly during install.

Compact Build That Fits Tight Spaces: 4-1/4" x 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" Dimensions

Tight clearances around suspension setups make space count. Measuring 4-1/4" long x 2-1/4" wide x 2-1/4" tall, this bracket keeps a low profile while providing full strength for the spring connection. It’s a single heavy-duty hanger that mounts solid, stays square, and helps your trailer suspension move smoothly without excess play.

Bolt-On spring hangers can't be bought for love or money in any "Brick & Mortar" store in Atlanta. I tried. Etrailer had just the thing with the CE14016G and it's slip-spring sister the CE14017G. I appreciated the feature that I had choice of bolting through the single 1/2 in bolt hole in the center, or the smaller two on the the tabs. It sure beat looking for a welder or bumming an industrial drill press to put holes in the regular hangers. Etrailer did a timely job of shipping on time. The new springs are hung, and I'm looking forward to pulling my boat out of the water.



by:

I rebuilt a small utility trailer. The axle was a little too far forward for me. I used these in case I didn’t like the position. I left the original hangers in place in case I wanted to change the axle back. I haven’t moved it back because the new position balances the trailer just right.



by:

bracket worked well although it seems like the 9/16 hole is slightly larger on one side than the other making a tight fit with the bolt I purchased causing it to only go in the bracket from one side... not a problem but if you want to have both sides of the trailer with bolt and nut on same side of the bracket you might want to dry install before securing the bracket onto the frame to know which way to install the bracket



by:

I have a messed up system for lead springs and have been looking for a cheap, bolt on system to replace the current welded setup I have. I need to move the axle back 6 inches to redistribute the weight for a tiny house project and these seem like they will do the job.
I have a slipper spring system, but the slipper portion is more like a hook, so I can use these for that. As for the front, I need to order 2 more because I wasn't sure if the depth of the hanger would work for the width of the eye, but it will.

These hangers will make it so much easier than having to weld on new brackets.



by:

I' M VERY HAPPY WITH ALL THE PARTS I RECIEVED , AND THE PROMPT SHIPPING AND FOLLOW UP IS APPRECIATED.
THIS LITTLE PROJECT IS FOR A SMALL TRAILER I HAD PRETTY MUCH LET RUN DOWN AND AFRAID TO GET OUT ON THE INTERSTATE WITH.
THE NEED FOR ME TO BECOME SANTA AND TAKE A LOAD OF GRANDKID PRESENTS TO NASH TN PUT ME IN A BIND TO GET THE TRL FIXED ASAP.
YOU GOT ME FIXED UP AND I WILL ORDERING FROM YOU.
I HAVE TWO CAR HAULERS AND A FLAT BED SO I NEED STUFF REGULARLY.
THANKS AGAIN , MERRY CHRISTMAS
DO YOU GUYS SELL TRAILERS ? I'M GOING TO WANT A 12FT X6FT TANDEM CARGO, ODD SIZE, BUT IT WILL BE A PARTS TRAILER . NO WHEEL WELLS INSIDE . WE MOVE OLD CAR PARTS AS WELL AS MESS WITH VINTAGE CARS.

Ron, The largest utility trailer we sell at this time is the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer # K2MMT5X7. The bed dimensions are 88 inches long x 52 inches wide x 24 inches tall and has a 1.640 lb payload capacity. I hope this helps. I have attached a link for your reference. Thank you.

Product looked good. Shipping was delayed a couple of times.



by:

Awesome product. great delivery service... Product will be used to hang thr leafsprings on my boat trailer.



by:

I used these 'front' brackets for both front and rear ends of my leaf springs, because I couldn't find a bolt-on rear bracket. I had to bend 1/4" offsets into each of my rear shackles to make the rear brackets work. I added a spacer between my shackles to keep them perpendicular. The original rear clip was 1-3/4" wide on the outside and the shackles were outside the clips. I used 3/8" bolts to attach the brackets to my 3"x1-1/2" steel tube trailer frame. The bracket mounting tabs are drilled for 7/16" bolts, and I would have preferred to use 7/16" bolts, but I couldn't find that size at my local hardware stores. I moved my axle forward to rebalance my boat trailer, because I put a smaller engine on which made tongue weight way too heavy. I went with bolt-on brackets because I could do it myself (I don't have welding equipment). Overall, I'm satsified.

  • How to Get Clearance for Slipper Spring Compressing on Top of Wheel Well
    To answer your first question a double-eye spring would not compress less than your current 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End # e33SR and I do not recommend going with a higher-rated spring than what your trailer is rated for as that will make your ride very stiff and unpleasant. The only real options you have to get more clearance are to raise the fender if you can or add one that has more height (I have linked our selection of fenders for you to check out) or to cut off your current...

  • Bolt On Slipper Springs for 1-3/4" Wide Slipper Springs on a Small Single Axle Trailer
    The only bolt-on hangers we have for 1-3/4" slipper springs come from CE Smith: - Front # CE14016G - Rear # CE14017G Attached are some review videos for you to check out!

  • Is It Normal For Open Eye Spring To Hit Frame Of Trailer When Loaded?
    Thanks for the picture! The spring shouldn't hit the frame like yours does in the picture, so the correct solution would be to either add a longer front hanger or using a shorter spring. The correct replacement hanger will be dependent on the width of your spring. If you have a 1-3/4" wide spring the longest hanger we offer is the CE Smith Front Hanger Bracket for Trailer Slipper Springs # CE14016G which is 2-1/4" tall. If you can tell me the width of your current spring and the height...

  • Are there Bolt-On Hangers for Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
    We do have a couple of bolt-on spring hangers # CE14017G and # CE14016G but they are designed for slipper springs and not double-eye springs like # e77SR. Its not likely that professional welder would charge that much. You might be able to find one locally via an iron workers union near you. For u-bolts for your 1-1/2 inch square axle you can use # SP01-120 for 2 u-bolts and 4 nuts. For a u-bolt plate you can use # 115983. For a hanger kit you could use # APS1. Now what you could do is...

  • Recommended Bolt On Hangers For Aluminum Frame Trailer
    Since you've got an aluminum frame trailer, I understand why you're looking for a bolt on solution. The only available bolt on hangers we have available would be the # CE14017G and # CE14016G but they are designed for slipper springs and not double-eye springs like # e77SR you were looking at. If you went this route you would want to use something like the # SP-040275 as your springs, which have a 3700-lbs capacity. This would be the best solution available for your new aluminum trailer,...

  • Parts Needed For Adding 1,000LB Slipper Springs To a Cart With No Suspension
    You will need 2 of the Front # CE14016G and Rear # CE14017G hanger brackets to attach 2 of the 2-Leaf Slipper Springs # SP-177275 to your cart. You will need 2 of the Zinc Shackle Bolts # TRFA73Z916DLNZ to attach the leaf springs to the front hanger. If you can tell what shape and size axle you have I can help you find the U-Bolt Kit you need. We have some like the 1-1/2" Square # CE23102 or 1-3/4" Round # CE23000 depending on the size of your axle.

  • Can Trailer Suspension Hangers be Bolted On
    The top holes you see in trailer suspension hangers such as Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 1-1/2" Front, 1-1/4" Rear Item # APS3 are for button welds and not bolts so these hangers should not be bolts on. The problem is that with a weld the hanger is fixed and cannot move. With bolts no matter how tight you make them the bolt will always be smaller than the holes in the hangers and given the forces applied could cause the hangers to shift and throw off the alignment...

  • Is There a Bolt On Hanger Kit for Double Eye Leaf Springs
    Hey Ronnie, there is not a bolt on hanger kit for the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles # e57SR. All of the hangers like Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs # APS4 are going to be weld on. We do have bolt on hangers like # CE14016G and # CE14017G but they are designed for slipper springs not double eye springs.

  • Size of Mounting Bolts for CE Smith Front Hanger Bracket # CE14016G
    The size of bolts for the CE Smith Front Hanger Bracket, part # CE14016G, are as follows: The 2 top holes on the ends take 7/16" diameter bolts. The center top hole takes 1/2" in diameter bolts. The lower spring eye holes take 9/16" diameter bolts. I have included a picture showing these measurements for you. I recommend using grade 5 galvanized bolts.

  • Shackle Bolt Recommendation for the CE Smith Front Hanger Bracket # CE14016G
    The diameter of the holes that are used for installing leaf springs is 9/16 of an inch. A bolt like the part # 166081 would work as it is 3 inches long and the bracket is 2-1/4 inches wide.

  • Hanger Compatibility For Bolt-On Application On 2016 Tracker Trailer
    The Front/Center/Rear Hanger for Double-Eye Springs - 4-1/4" Tall - 9/16" Bolt Hole # E4139 is a weld on application. It hasn't been tested for bolt on installations, so I can't confirm it will hold up if you drilled it and bolted it in place. We have only 2 bolt-on hangers and they are for slipper springs, # CE14016G and # CE14017G.

  • Are Galvanized Leaf Spring Hangers Available
    If your trailer uses slipper springs, we do offer galvanized hangers. They are part # CE14016G front hangers, and # CE14017G for rear hangers. We also carry some galvanized shackle links. You can check them out at the attached link.

  • Hanger for 2-Inch Leaf Springs
    The CE Smith front hanger bracket for trailer slipper springs # CE14016G you referenced cannot be altered. Once steel bends it will continue bending over time and could cause a serious problem. Hangers for 2-inch wide springs should be welded to the frame, hence the reason bolt-on hangers are not made. The closest match hanger for your 2-inch wide slipper springs is the Redline center hanger # 29-1. It is designed for trailers with 3,500 pounds to 9,000 pound axles and is 3-1/2 inches...

  • Replacing Hangers with 3 Mounting Holes on a 1990 Escort Boat Trailer
    We do have a few hangers with 3 holes in the top, like parts # CE14016G and # CE14017G, but they are for 1-3/4" wide slipper springs. The former is 2-1/4" tall while the latter is 1-3/4" tall. If these match your current hangers then look no further! These are for bolt-on installations but all of our other hanger options are weld-on applications. Otherwise you may be better off to choosing a different hanger from the linked selection and have it welded by a professional to your trailer....

  • Switching From Slipper Spring Single Axle Trailer to Double Eye Suspension
    I recommend the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs # APS2. With the double eye leaf spring you will need to add shackle straps to allow the leaf spring front to back movement when compressing. While the CE Smith Front Hanger Bracket # CE14016G will bolt in place where your rear mount is it will not be the correct width to be used with the double eye springs shackle straps. We have a great article "DOUBLE-EYE TRAILER SUSPENSION SYSTEM" linked below. This will help you...

  • Replacement Front Hanger Slipper Springs
    From your picture it looks like you have a slipper spring hanger. We have a similar part, part # CE14016G, but it only measures 4-1/4 inches and yours is 5 inches. Ours is also 2-1/4 inches tall. It fits 1-3/4 inch wide springs and it sounds like yours is for wider springs. If your springs are actually 1-3/4 inches wide and is 2-1/4 inches tall then this will work for you. Unfortunately this is the only hanger we have in this style.

  • Options for Installing CE Smith Front Hanger Bracket on a Trailer with a Boxed Frame
    The best way that I could thing of would be to drill access holes and then fishwire carriage bolts through the access hole and the opening of the frame. Check out the FAQ article I attached doing this to install hitches. Its a different application, but its the concept I am talking about. It would be up to you to determine if this method would be possible for your trailer.

  • Could Shackle Bolt # 166081 be Used with CE Smith Suspension Hanger # CE14016G
    The 3 inch shackle bolt part # 166081 would be a great option to use with the CE Smith suspension hanger part # CE14016G. This would be a better fitting size than going with the longer 3.5 inch bolt you mentioned.
