Features to know about

Solid Mount for Heavy Loads: 3/16" Thick Steel Plate Holds Strong

A weak connection between the axle and spring can throw off your whole suspension. This Dexter U-bolt plate fixes that with a solid 3/16" thick steel build that keeps everything locked in place. It’s made for 3,500-lb heavy-duty Dexter axles, giving your setup the strength it needs to stay true mile after mile.

Built for the Right Fit: Works with 2-3/8" Round Axles and 2" Wide Springs

Getting the right alignment matters for smooth suspension movement and even tire wear. This plate lines up perfectly with a 2-3/8" diameter round axle and a 2" wide leaf spring. When paired with the right U-bolts, it locks in tight for a solid, no-shift connection.

Reliable Hardware Connection: Uses 9/16" Bolts for Secure Clamping

When you’re tightening down your suspension, you want the hardware to bite and hold. This plate is designed for 9/16" bolts, giving you a sturdy clamp that won’t loosen under load. Two 3/8" diameter U-bolts (sold separately) complete the setup for a simple, reliable install.

Steady Suspension You Can Count On: Keeps the Axle and Spring Aligned

Rough roads and heavy miles can test every part of your suspension. This U-bolt plate keeps the axle and spring in proper alignment, cutting down on movement and helping the trailer track straight. It’s a small piece that makes a big difference in keeping the ride smooth and stable.

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.

I am building a unique little project that I needed extra spring plates for. I naturally came to etrailer and they didn't disappoint. As always, easy ordering, quick shipping, good people, great product.
