Features to know about
Solid Axle Connection That Holds Tight: 1/2" Diameter Galvanized Steel
Keeping a 3,500-lb round axle secure takes more than just any hardware. This CE Smith replacement U-bolt clamps the axle firmly to the leaf springs with a 1/2"-13 steel bolt that’s built to handle the load. At 5-3/8" long and 2-3/8" wide, it fits 2-3/8" diameter axles so everything lines up for a snug, dependable hold that keeps your suspension tight mile after mile.
Rust Protection That Lasts: Hot-Dipped Galvanized Coating
Corrosion is a real problem for trailers that see rain, salt, and wet conditions. This U-bolt is made from galvanized steel, hot-dipped in zinc for a 3-mil to 5-mil thick coating that shields against rust. That extra layer keeps the metal strong and looking clean even after years of use in harsh environments.
Reliable Fit for Suspension Work: Made to Work With U-Bolt Plates
When you’re replacing or upgrading suspension parts, you want hardware that fits right the first time. This round bolt matches the shape of 2-3/8" round axles and works with a U-bolt plate and a second U-bolt (sold separately) to secure one side of the axle to the leaf spring. The included nuts and washers make it a straightforward, direct replacement that locks everything down the way it should.
Built for Hard Use on the Water or the Road
Whether it’s for a boat trailer or a snowmobile hauler, this U-bolt is made for tough duty and constant exposure. The galvanized finish and solid steel build mean you can count on it to stay tight and resist corrosion through wet launches, salty air, or long road trips. It’s simple, strong hardware that does its job every time.

Video Transcript for Hands-On with the CE Smith Replacement U-Bolt w/ Nuts for 2-3/8" Round Axles
Today we're going to be taking a look at the CE Smith Round U-bolt. This replacement round U-bolt is going to act as a part of a trailer suspension system. It can be used with another U-bolt and U-bolt plates to secure one side of your axle to a leaf spring. Just keep in mind that these can be used for a variety of other applications as well. It's going to be made from a steel construction. It's been galvanized, so it's going to do a great job at resisting rust and corrosion, making it great or ideal for use on boat trailers, or anything that deals with a lot of moisture. You're going to get one U-bolt, and you're going to get the mounting hardware, which is going to include two nuts and two lock-washers. The product is made right here in the USA. If we take a measurement of the length, measuring from the bottom of this portion here to the end of the threaded portion, that's going to give us a measurement of 5 3/8 of an inch. The bolt size on the unit is going to be a 1/2 inch by 13. The first number represents the diameter, the second number represents the thread pitch. The threaded portion that's going to give us a length measurement of about 2 inches. The inner width, measuring the opening, that's going to give a measurement of 2 3/8 of an inch. The distance that we have between the bolts, center on center, that's going to give a measurement of 2 7/8 of an inch. That's going to do it for today's look at the CE Smith Round U-bolt..

These are worth the price. Best quality for saltwater axle. Other brands are packaged as galvanized but actually are zinc ubolts with a galvanized plate. Spend a little more get these.

Replaced my whole boat trailer axle so I replaced the hardware too. Being galvanized really helped me decide to go with these. No rust and a year later.

Seems like a solid, well built piece. Time will tell after a few years of MA winter road salt & potholes. Fit a bit loose on a 3" axle, but once the nuts are tight there's no movement of course. At least the galvy will give it a fighting chance in the salt.

- Looking for 2-3/8 inch Diameter Axel U-BoltsHey Marty, we have 2-3/8 inch u-bolts like what you are looking for with the part # CE15286GA. Is that all you are looking for?
view full answer... - What Sizes Of 2-3/8" Wide U-Bolts Are Available?Hello Paul, thanks for reaching out. We do carry a few U-bolts for 2-3/8" round axles, although I am sorry to say we do not have anything 8-1/2" long. Here are the options we offer: 5-1/8" Long - Replacement U-Bolt for 2-3/8" Round Axle - 5-1/8" Long - 7/16" Diameter - Qty 1 # DX62FR 5-3/8" Long - CE Smith Replacement U-Bolt w/ Nuts for 2-3/8" Round Axles - 1/2" Diameter - Galvanized # CE15286GA 5-1/2" Long - Replacement U-Bolt with Nuts for 2-3/8" Round Trailer Axles - 1/2" Diameter...
view full answer... - Does Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Kit RM-2450 Come With U-BoltsU-bolts are not included with the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 3,500 lb Axle # RM-2450. When installing this kit, what you can do is use your trailer's existing U-bolts, you will just want to check them to make sure that there is at least 1/2" of thread showing beyond the nut. If there is, you won't need new U-bolts for the installation. If you have less than that, you can simply add new, longer U-bolts, such as the 5-3/8" long CE Smith Replacement...
view full answer... - Diameter of 3,500 lb Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs e65GRYes, the diameter is indeed 2-3/8 inches for the 3,500 lb axle you asked about, which is the following part number: - Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # e65GR So they will work with U-bolts that fit 2-3/8" diameter axles like part # CE15286GA.
view full answer... - Availability of Cushioned Equalizer that Has Length of 14-5/8 inchesIn the 14-5/8 inch equalizer length we only have the Equa-Flex part # LC314336 that you mentioned. This might slightly change the height of your trailer but it wouldn't be to a significant enough point that you'd notice it. It would do a great job helping the ride quality though so I would recommend it highly. Assuming you have the standard 2-3/8 inch diameter trailer axles you'd just need the u-bolts part # CE15286GA and you'd be set with the # RM-2450 and the # MR46ZR.
