Speaker 1: Today, we'll be having a look at the CE Smith line of U-bolt mounting kits for mounting round trailer axles. Here's what our kit comes with. It's everything you need for replacing the U-bolts on a single axle on your trailer. We have 4 new U-bolts, you'll have 2 per side; 2 new plates, 1 per side; 8 new lock washers, you'll be using 4 for each side of the trailer; and 8 new nuts, again 4 for each side of the trailer.You can see how well our U-bolts grip around the contours of our axle. This'll keep the axle firmly attached to our leaf springs, so we don't have to worry about it slipping and sliding.Now because we have the zinc and the galvanized finish on our plate and our hardware, this will better protect them from corrosion from the elements, especially salt spray. It's not an issue if you decide to use them on a boat trailer such as this one.Now many of our customers have had to make a second phone call or send an email to us after they bought a new axle for their trailer because they found, once they tried to remove the old one or put the new one on, that they couldn't get their factory U-bolts off.
They had to cut them off, and now they're searching for a replacement. This kit will be a perfect solution for this problem here.Now many of our customers compared these to the Redline line of U-bolt kits. Now the main difference you're going to see between this one and those is that those do not have the galvanized or the zinc finish on the plates or the hardware, which will cause them to rust out faster.As you can see, we already have our new axle sitting on top of our leaf springs. Now this kit could work for an axle that sits on top or below your leaf springs. It works for both applications.
You don't need to worry if yours resides below, you can still use this kit for that.We'll start by taking our new U-bolts and dropping them over our axle on either side of our leaf spring. Now we'll take our new plate. We want to make sure that this flange right here faces down, this hole here in the center lines up with the alignment pin on our leaf spring, and we'll insert our U-bolts through the holes. Place on our lock washers, and we'll put that on our nuts.Now we can start to tighten our hardware, making sure we tighten them evenly as possible. Now we'll torque our hardware again, making sure we alternate to ensure that we're doing it as evenly as possible.And that completes our look at the CE Smith line of U-bolt kits for mounting round trailer axles..

Mount your round, 2-3/8" diameter axle to your trailer's leaf springs with this U-bolt kit. U-bolts, plates, nuts, and washers included. Zinc plating resists rust and corrosion - great for boat trailers.I upgraded from a single leaf 3500lb axle spring to a 4 leaf 4000lb axle spring and also upgraded the U-bolts. The upgrade went very well. Everything fit perfect. The trailer tire to fender clearance was only 1.5 inches (at best) before the upgrade, now it is 3.5 inches. This will help the tire from rubbing the fender on the rough and bumpy road that we have in the state.
Nice looking U bolts for 1.75" springs, bought two kits for my 2 new axles I bought. They came with new hardware, I did add a bit of locktite to the threads since it only came with lock washers, but overall, a must have for any new axle install.
Replaced worn out springs and hardware. Everything fit and went better than expected. Simple enough to do yourself. Thanks
Shipping was much faster than expected. Customer service was excellent and a representative reached out to modify my order for faster delivery due to an item being back ordered. A replacement item was selected and everything arrived soon after order confirmation. All items arrived well packaged and exactly as I ordered it. I would definitely order from etrailer again.
u bolt kit worked well as planned
Fast shipping and great product as described. These are more heavy duty then the ones we took off the PJ trailer. Extremely satisfied.
Brent was awesome!! Helped me get the correct parts I needed. I ordered in a Wednesday midmorning and received everything the following day with free shipping. I will buy all my trailer needs from etrailer.com and will use Brent.
I bought a trailer that someone had reversed the axle and did some “REDNECK ENGINEERING “on. I put the axle back where it was supposed to be by using U bolts I had ordered. Everything fit perfect. Now trailer is back like it was supposed to be, thanks to etrailer and Jane. She was so helpful and follow up on my order was exceptional. I know I can always count on etrailer to get what I need at a fair price. THANKS
I only had the trailer for 3 months after installing them. But I really noticed a big difference in the ride of the trailer. I installed the same on my new trailer with the same results. Way better ride.
The packing was horrible and box end was completely open and had parts missing when delivered. If they would of bubbles wrapped items in box and put hardware in a sealed bag it might of got here in better condition. I had to go purchase 13 nuts before I could complete my repair and the worst thing is I already paid for them once.
Sierra K - 11/10/2021A was a great product fit perfectly arrived in great condition and timely manner i im super happy great job guys
Ordering process was easy to use. etrailer order confirmation was quick and order status provided in timely manner. Order was delivered as estimated. I would definitely use etrailer again.
Worked well. Get your dremel tool ready the holes in the plates are punched out and there tends to be tails of metal left over from the punch that you must ream out to get the bolt through.
I Have ordered several items and it is amazing how efficiently the order is processed and mailed out. All business should be as efficient. Great job
easy to navigate , very good product and great customer service with follow up.
