Most Popular Round Axle - 3 Inch for 1983 Honda Civic

I upgraded my leaf springs to 4000lbs springs and needed longer axle U bolts and Quinn at etrailer was helpful getting the correct bolts headed my way.

These seem to be working ok but do not appear to be designed for use with the HD upgraded Moryde greaseable shackle kit that I purchased with them . You can see in the photos that they rub and bind

The product themselves are quality however, the customer service and shipping is what was dissapointing. I originally ordered 4 items. I was told only one item was on backorder. Not a big deal. I checked a week later on the backorder and was told that they did not know when an item would come from the namufactuere. However, it was a different item from the first. So two items were not available and turned out to not be available. It was a lack of communication and I had to figure this out by calling after waiting a week and several misguided emails. Next was the packaging. It was all broken up and taped when I got it. Whoever packaged these items threw 4 heavy leaf springs and 2 sets of U-bolts into a box without securing them. They arrived but the two U-bolt packedges were previouly opened and sealed with masking tape and i'm missing all the nuts and lock washers from one package. The box could have come open during shipment but they were not secured inside the box at all, which led to the catstrophy inside the box. Due to all this, I will probably not order again from this site.

Good packaging. Great replacement for the old U-bolts.

Install wasn’t bad. Grand design welds a V bracket inside the spring hangers for more strength so that was my only challenge on install. This caused a problem on the center hanger as the spacer wouldn’t fit. Had to grind about a quarter inch off the spacer so it would fit as I could only bend the bottom of the hangers so much. Will be towing about 100 miles this weekend so it will be nice to hopefully not have broken drawers in the back of the trailer as well as shelves in the fridge door dislodged. I also did the X factor cross braces on the front and rear hangers for more strength. Will post back after we get more miles on it, but given all the other positive reviews I don’t think I’ll be unhappy.

OMG! After having the trailer bottom out on the stock springs while traversing a RR crossing, this system has proven to be amazing. Returning from a VA campground I crossed multiple RR crossings and traveled some rough pavement. I found I had left a bottle of shower soap on the ledge in the shower! It was still there when I set up in my yard. Not possible with the stock suspension!

I used these to replace the leaf springs and equalizers on a 20’ gooseneck cattle trailer that I rebuilt. The ride is great and the usual rattling and clanging of the trailer going down the gravel road is gone. So far I am very happy with the ease of installation and the performance of the suspension. I guess only time will tell about the durability of the rubber components in the long run.

Happy with the online ordering.
