Best 2018 Kia Sorento Trailer Leaf Spring Suspensions

These did not fit my 3500 lb axle. It has been very difficult determining the correct size U-Bolts for my axle. It appears etrailer does not carry the size I need.

It is exactly as described. It seems solid. I also ordered the springs, and they appear to be solid as well. I look forward to continuing to do business with etrailer due to quality parts AND great customer service from the likes of Shawnee and the crew. Thank you!!!

They seem too wide for the springs on my 7,000 axle.

excellent quality replacement repair parts at a great price.

Exactly what I needed...delivery was spot on...thank you!

Seem like a good quality bolt, will see how they hold up.

Excellent fit and functionality. I would definitely recommend purchasing. E-Trailer is definitely my favorite for trailer parts.

Lauren from etrailer was very knowledgeable and thought of additional items I needed to complete my project that I didn't think of.

Our trailer was so low...that it could not make it up a low curb and some driveways - especially when fully loaded. Went with the Dexter axle flip kit. The Dexter bracket and base plate pieces are worth the extra $20-$30 compared to other similar kits - they make fitment easier, eliminate any guesswork on placement, and decrease installation time because of it. Took 2-3 relaxed pace hours for us to do single axle install. Tools required were ratchet/wrench set (13/16 deep socket worked for us for most of the bolts), cheater bar (for working those rusty bolts off), drill, angle grinder (cutter disc for oem u-bolts and leaf spring bolts that are rusted or welded in place, stripper disc for cleaning area around new bracket for welding) welder, floor jack and jack stands. We had to remove the leaf springs, as the wheel mount brackets would not fit through the openings. Was hoping we wouldn’t have to, but it was pretty simple to do. We jacked the trailer up. Removed the wheels. Removed the axle. Cleaned the axle area where new brackets go. Set the height and placement of the new Dexter brackets. We left the OEM brackets on the axle and placed the Dexter ones in the exact same position 180 degrees on the other side. Welded them on. Reinstalled leaf springs. Reinstalled axle, reinstalled wheels. Then voila! We added 6 full inches of height. Super awesome.

One order gets you the kit for only one axle, and realized this after my order arrived for my project on a two axle trailer. Seems obvious now but that wasn’t labeled & pictures were deceiving as I saw two axle trailers advertised. Hardware all seems to be in good shape but packaging quality is poor. Before opening my package I could see into my box with loose hardware rolling around. Thankfully no nuts fell out during shipping. In the future please tape around all seams or place in more secure packaging.

These are the exact bolts used by the manufacturer of my trailer. I had a spring break after 10yrs use, so am replacing the springs and all the bolts at the same time, thank you to etrailer for the springs (ordered earlier) and now the bolts/nuts, all arrived quickly and accurately, you are my first choice for all trailer parts for my 7 trailers, thank you and keep up the good work!

When I ordered my kit from etrailer to replace the double-eye leaf springs on my 1970 Shasta Trailer, I decided to save a few bucks and get the bolts at my local hardware store. Big mistake! You wouldn't think a simple 3 inch bolt would be hard to find in your local hardware store. But in fact, i checked five hardware stores and none of them had this particular bolt. What a waste of time! I should have learned my lesson by now, and just give all my parts business to etrailer.com. I have probably spent more than $1000 in the past several months refurbishing our 1970 Shasta. Totally satisfied with the selection at etrailer, and the service is second to none!

Great fit, nice to be able to grease.

My manufactured trailer did not have this type with a grease fitting. They wore out the bushing in no time. I really like the design and ability to lubricate the bushing.

Good steel easy weld. The holes line up great

Arrived quickly and was as pictured. Correct application and welded nicely. Trailer is successfully back in operation now for about 9 months.

Perfect fix! Lifted up the camper just right for the 2 gray tanks I installed this past winter. Install was as per the instructions.

The trailer is a Palomino Solaire 147x. Installation was straightforward. The lift in combination with taller wheels and tires accomplished the desired ride height.

Ordered a lot of parts for a dump trailer rebuild in Sept. Didn't install some of the final parts until Christmas break. THEY SENT COARSE THREAD NUTS INSTEAD OF FINE. I ruined 2 u-bolts and need all 16 fine thread nuts. I'm outside 60 days so I was told I'm on my own. I've spent $5k+ on etrailer. I'll find some place else.......

Axels are a perfect fit for my trailer and are working great.

They were smaller guage than the existing U bolts on my trailer. Not sure if I got the wrong ones or if they are just less robust. I didn't end up using them.

I purchased this kit for the standard 5' x 8' 2,000 lb. trailer from Lowes. I did an axle flip and added larger tires. This is the perfect kit for this trailer. It went on easy, and the bolts were slightly longer. Also the bolts in this kit were fine thread instead of course thread. Overall an improvemet over the factory hardware and I had no issues. Shipped in a timely manner and packaged well. I highly recommend this kit if you plan on flipping the axle or need a replacement.

Shipped fast looks good will be putting it on my trailer this weekend.

I bought the spring kit to put on my home built trailer that I put my old heavy slide-in camper on. It more than met my expectations. There was no sway at 75mph or on the 5 mile trail back to camp.

Bought a used car trailer in need of repair, sand blasted and painted the trailer. While working on it more and more things needed to be replaced. This hanger kit was a great match. Thank you etrailer.

Arrived well packed and as advertised. I'm going to pull the azle out of the boat trailer and wanted to have this 'on hand' should I break some of my U bolts. I've bought from you before - always been happy, thanks

Worked perfect for mounting a storage box to my boat trailer.

Great product at fair price with fast delivery. Very pleased with the quality of that U-bolt

Ordering online is frustrating when your order gets denied for security purpose because payment method isn’t on file

Exact fit, good description. After a year it's holding up well with constant use.

Replaced my old equalizers with these and they have worked great without an issue; this is a one year review since my purchase of these trailer parts. To anyone considering these - they have worked great for me on my boat trailer.

My 6' x 10' landscape trailer was a homemade by a prior owner. While it was mostly constructed very well, the spring hangers were not correct. The spacing for the springs was also wrong, and it had very little fender clearance. There was also evidence that the spring U-bolts had contacted the frame on occasion. (I do not carry loads anywhere near the 3500# axle rating.) I added an extra set of holes on the front hangers in case the ride height proved to be too much, but I like the way it sits with the stock holes. I don't think I'll be utilizing the extra holes. This kit was just the ticket to increase the suspension travel and fender clearance on my landscape trailer. Now it "sits right"!

Used this kit to get rid of the annoying slip springs on my Harbor Freight trailer. Everything fit nicely and the trailer is makes much less noise. I re-made the base-plate these weld onto with some Angle iron I picked up at Home Depot. (See enclosed pictures) All-in-all I am happy with this suspension kit and would recommend if you are doing a similar project.

Made a nice little trailer to haul wife’s golf cart!

Good kit with the necessary parts to replace leaf spring suspension. I welded the hangers rather than bolting them. The parts are not coated for the price point so you will need to paint them or they will rust immediately.

Had a leaf spring break on my off-road trailer in Mexico. Left it at a boat yard until I received the parts from trailer & returned to replace. Only took 2 hrs to replace both leafsprinhs, shackles, bolts etc. And we were back on the road.

Great Experience! When I noticed that the leaf springs on my 44 year old boat trailer had cracked I thought I would never find replacements. I fully expected to have to have something custom built. I was amazed when I found the fantastic diagrams/descriptions dimensions for replacement springs on etrailer.com The phone support person was wonderfully helpful in confirming if items were in stock and ready to ship. The replacement springs arrived on time and everything bolted up perfectly! Thanks for such a great site!

This is a great kit! It included everything we needed to replace the old, worn-out brackets on our 6'x10' trailer. The directions were helpful and the brackets and hardware are nice and solid. We've had zero issues with the leaf springs (purchased on etrailer.com, also) or the brackets. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent, had everything I needed and more for my trailer. Everything fit well!
