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..

Product was at my door step in 2 days. All parts were accurate and exactly as described on line. Thank you 643915
They fit great, didnt have to bend them to fit like mamy other brands 620151
Great customer service...received product as promised. I have outfitted my trailer to organize and carry all my construction tools for building and remodeling. The springs are a noticeably stiffer than the smaller factory springs I had on trailer; however , that’s what I intended to get by upgrading. I have every confidence that these won’t break like the cheapass factory springs Stealth put on their 14’ enclosed trailer. (No, I didn’t overload the trailer—the original springs failed due to the very thin metal and fatigue.) 597298

Great product, fast ship, great communication. Using to swap axles on 40 foot RV with bent axle. Thanks! 377714
Quality product, I like the fact that it is zinc plated for the corrosion protection. 370158
Springs arrived after a couple of days. I have never had an item better packed! Springs fir my trailer no modifications as well as U bolts. I wish I had thought to get new hanger bolts as these will be needed. Do not order your springs without new shackle hanger bolts! 321303
Product is great. Daily hauler with bobcat and concrete blocks over the mountains from NC to TN. Perfect!

Good stuff. If the ends of the plate were bent down at a 45 degree angle it would make them more rigid. Other than that they will work just fine. 315210
The u-bolts and plates are of excellent quality. Bolts are yellow cadmium plated and the plates are hot dip galvanized. The fit was perfect, no issues at all during assembly. 286905
One long trip out west and no issues. Very good quality part for the price.
Randy R - 08/28/2017Some threads were dinged up and this made assembly difficult. 278872
The materials and finishes look to be good quality, but the threads on the U-bolts were dinged in several places. The damaged threads made it difficult to assemble the nuts and one nearly galled stuck before it could be tightened all the way. It looks like the damage happened during manufacturing since the packaging was very protective. I'd buy these again if not for all the dinged up threads. 278361
