Hi, everyone, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today, we're looking together at our CE Smith Front Hanger Bracket for trailer slipper springs. Folks, this is a galvanized steel and it's a bolt-on. So this heavy-duty bracket connects the eye of the slipper spring with the bolt right through here. And it's a bolt-on application with these four bolt holes. Now, these holes are gonna be great for bolting this onto your trailer without having to weld.
This is galvanized, so it's gonna be great for water applications, maybe a boat trailer, those kinda things. And it attaches to the underside of your trailer. There is no mounting hardware included, you'd have to pick it up locally or source it separately. It's made of a 4-Gauge thick galvanized construction, so again, rust corrosion and very sturdy. Again, this is what we consider a front slipper spring mount.
So again, this would be for the front of your slipper springs. Overall, we got about 5 3/8 inches long. And the inside width here is about 1 15/16 inches wide. Overall, I was getting about 2 3/8 inches tall, counting the bottom of this part here all the way up here. And then about 2 1/4 on just this part down to this little flange right there.
So again, those measurements aren't 100% precise. Keep in mind, these can be a little bit different as they're punched out on the press and everything when they're being built. This up here can be squeezed in a little bit sometimes, so every once in a while you get some customers say, "Hey, my spring's not fitting here, it's just really tight." You can simply just kinda pry this open a little bit to then get that spring in place. But again, it's pretty rare that something like that would happen, but just know that it can happen. And if you have any questions about that or anything else with this product or any of our other products, please reach out to us, we'd be more than happy to assist you.
I'm Steven, stay safe while you're towing.

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.
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.
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
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.
Product was exactly what I ordered.
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.
Product looked good. Shipping was delayed a couple of times.
Awesome product. great delivery service... Product will be used to hang thr leafsprings on my boat trailer.
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.
Looks great. Hope it lines up properly
Perfect fit. The metal was thicker than I expected. I am very satisfied. We installed them the next day. Shipped and arrived as promised.
Great fit, exactly as described. Mine bent and just needed one. Great price and product.
