Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at a U-bolt plate. Now, this plate is used with U-bolts to secure an axle to leaf springs, which are mounted to the trailer frame. This attaches with two 5/8 inch diameter round U-bolts. U-bolts are sold separately and available at etrailer.com. It fits round trailer axles with a 4 inch diameter. We can tell that by simply taking the measurement between our holes edge to edge and that gives us that 4 inch span.
It's designed for use with 9,000 pound dexter axles. Works with 2 inch wide leaf springs. It's made form a durable steel construction and already has the necessary holes pre-made into the plate. Taking a look at the overall measurements of the unit real quick, going edge to edge it gives us a measurement of 7-3/4 inches. Edge to edge going this direction, it gives us a measurement of 4-1/2 inches.
That's going to do it for today's look at the U-bolt plate.
Prompt delivery - earlier than expected.

Worked good had to put in drill press to oval the holes a touch so the u bolts would be straight
The customer service was outstanding. Thru the process of identifying what I needed to ordering and delivering the products I dealt with multiple Customer Service Representatives (CSR). Everyone of them were helpful and courteous. I really appreciated the follow up after my initial contact with CSR. Once the product was ordered I was kept up to date on the status of the order thru regular emails from an etrailer CSR. The parts arrived as they promised, and a CSR even followed up with me after that. Great service, keep it up!
Other than the parts taking a month to process, once they were gathered and packaged, they were delivered within 2 days! I replaced both sides with new 3-leaf double eye springs, 4 shackle straps, 6 shackle bolts, 2 Dexter U-bolt plates, and 2 U-bolts. They were really easy to replace and I did it quickly. Looks great, gonna take her out soon.
Good lead time on shipping
