Hi, everyone. Steve here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our U-bolt plate for two inch diameter axles. Now, it's gonna be a 1 3/4 inch wide spring that fits in between here, and you're gonna use 3/8 inch bolts as far as the size of the bolts, The U-bolt plate here acts as part of your trailer suspension and it helps secure a two inch diameter axle to a 1 3/4 inch wide leaf spring. You're gonna need two 3/8 inch diameter U-bolts sold separately, and we sell them a different lengths so you wanna make sure you have the right length for your particular needs. Now, this is galvanized steel.
I'm gonna guess it's about a four gauge thick here, it's what it looks like, and it's great for use on boats or snowmobile trailers because it's galvanized. It's not gonna rust or corrode anytime soon. Overall, we get five inches and 3 9/16 center to center, and it's about 1 1/2 inches wide overall. And once again, all three of them bolt holes are 3/8 inches. And that's gonna wrap it up for our quick look together.
I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
Ratings & Reviews
Very happy with the quality & price for the axel mounting hardware. Will definitely recommend & do business with again, extremely pleased with my order.
My order arrived in the time frame projected. I was kept well informed of the shipment status. The items are very good quality and well packaged. I will order from etrailer again.
Rebuilt trailer suspension, should be good for another 20 years. One of my old springs snapped.
Good Galvanized U- bolt plates. Used for my boat trailer. Worked with out any problems. I have use etrailer for several years now. Will continue to use them. Good service.
ordered leaf springs, ubolts, plates and fenders for my Magic tilt trailer. Everything arrived in one box very well packed, in a timely manner. The parts fit like the originals.
Will book mark your web site for the next project!!!!
This plate is not sturdy at all plate was bending when tightening and axles were shifting
Completely restored our 1987 8x 10 trailer, turned out great. I found all the required parts from etrailer. Shipping was fast. etrailer was excellent to deal with. Thanks etrailer, best regards
Good product. Works good for me. Quick shipping.
I bought springs, shackle bolts, and u-bolts and plates. Everything was great and fit perfectly. Only issue were the u bolts which were not galvanized. However, at a local trailer store, I bought galvanized U bolts for $4.50 each.
For the DYIers, taking the old ones off took more than 4 hours for each side. My existing shackle bolts were so heavily rusted that I had to cut three off with a hack saw. Difficulty was confined space to operate hack saw with boat still on trailer. However, reassembling the new springs was less than 45 minutes each side.
Must have tools are large diameter 3/4-13/16-7/8 deep sockets (6 point), 2 2 foot long breaker bars and a can of PB blaster.
For safety: Good quality jack stands, minimum of 3--don't rely on the front trailer jack as it may roll.
By the way, I did these myself and I am 64 years old.
Good product.
Outstanding product, delivery time, product cost, and above all, communication. 5 star company!
I looked all over and no one had these it seems that everybody had 2 inch. My boat trailer is an older one probably from the 1970s with a1 3/4 axle not that common anymore. Thanks etrailer just what I needed.
All is well
Good product with zinc oxide coating to resist corrosion. I would give this product a better rating but truthfully, it needs to be thicker to resist bending when the 1/2-13 u-bolts are tighten to recommended torque specifications.
etrailer is Amazing...Great customer service always reaching out to make sure your satisfied...My order was quick and easy to order
Great parts fast shipping
Excellent quality
Fit perfectly and as advertised. Replaced my stock leaf spring plates on fifth wheel RV which were too wide to accept the SumoSprings trailer helper springs. Easy install.
The two plates were joined together and appear to have been dipped together and could not be separated. Trailer has sent out replacements immediately
Exactly what I needed, couldn’t find it anywhere else. Super fast transaction and shipping
I’ve placed a lot of orders , everything is always as advertised and I can’t believe how fast they ship it
Fast service always have what you need
Heavy duty and good galvanized plating
