Video Transcript for Hands-On with the U-Bolt Plate for 2" Diameter Axle, 1-3/4" Wide Spring

Today we're going to be taking a look at the CE Smith U-bolt plate for trailer suspension systems. The U-bolt plate's going to help secure a 2" diameter axle to a 1 3/4" wide leaf spring. You can tell that it's designed for a 1 3/4" wide leaf springs by taking a measurement of the space between these two holes. It's going to be the same as the space between these two holes. That's going to give us the measurement of 1 3/4". The unit does require two 1/2" diameter U-bolts, U-bolts are sold separately.

If you're in need of those you can find them here at etrailer.com. The four outer holes are designed to accept 1/2" diameter bolts. The unit's made from a galvanized steel construction. It's very strong and durable, as well as corrosion resistant, so it's going to be great for boat trailers or any application that's exposed to moisture. The product is made in the USA. The diameter of the center hole's going to measure around 5/8".

The over all length from edge to edge, that's going to give us a measurement of about 5" and then these two holes are going to be separated on center by 2 3/4". The over all width measurement is going to give us of 3 3/4" and then these holes are going to be separated on center apart from one another by 2 3/8". That's going to do it for today's look at the CE Smith U-bolt plate for trailer suspension systems.
