U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 5-1/2" Long U-Bolts
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!!!

Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit
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.

Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Front, 1-1/4" Rear
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.

U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 7-1/16" Long U-Bolts
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.

Wet Equalizer Bolt with Locknut and Grease Zerk for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long
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.
I bought a set of these bolts to replace the hardware in the triple axle suspension of my toyhauler. I had read about the benefits of a wet bolt kit, and after finding two broken shackle plates on my camper, decided I too needed to be able to properly lubricate the moving parts. These were a perfect fit and replacement for my original bolts. At the time I installed them I hadn't read about orienting the hole in the bolt to the 3 or 9 o'clock to ease pumping grease through them. I put them in at whatever orientation they were in my hand, but had no problem pushing 3 - 4 pumps of chassis grease through the zerk. I was able to observe grease flow out of the spring eyes around every bolt, and all of the zerk fittings stayed firmly in place when I wrestled the grease gun nozzle on and off. There were a few bad reviews about these press on fittings falling out, but I didn't see any evidence of that. I am very pleased with this purchase, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing I can properly service my suspension and hopefully extend the life of all the components in the system.

U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 2,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 4-1/4" Long U-Bolts
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.
Moved my axle below the leaf springs, works a lot better for my needs now. Paul helped me put an order together, got it shipped that day and delivered two days later. Quality parts and outstanding customer service.

2" Square Trailer U-Bolt (Qty 2)
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!

Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long
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!
I payed to have items delivered on Friday and they weren't delivered until Monday, I was told that extra charge would be reimbursed to my cc, waiting to see if that happens. All products were excellent though. Will do business with etrailer.com again.

Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long
Just what needed for my trailer. My old leaf springs were so rusted that I was one pot hole away from being broken down on the side of the road. These new ones are perfect.
When I asked questions about my order they answered back quickly. Everything fit like it should. Yes time will tell if the springs are good.

Dexter Bronze Bushings - Qty 4
Installed these with the Lippert AP wet bolt kit and Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizers. No more clanking and banging from the trailer going down the road and especially making tight turns.
I think Dexter, and by association, etrailer is selling junk parts. These are supposed to be "bronze" bushing. Even the Dexter packaging states "BRONZE". They ARE NOT bronze. They're cheap'azz steel bushings. Well I take that back they certainly aren't cheap. You can see in the first photo the old bronze bushing(these are Dexter original bushings that came with the HD wet bolt set-up several years ago) compared to the steel bushing now included in the HD shackle kit. Still doubting? The next photo shows the Dexter "BRONZE" bushing firmly held by a magnet. Still have doubts? How about a picture of the "BRONZE" bushings still in the Dexter packaging firmly attached to a magnet?

Triangular Equalizer for 1-3/4" Double-Eye Springs - 6" Long - 9/16" Center Hole
Worked great, paint is holding up, hardware was good quality, bolted right in…no issues, hold load at least as good as factory springs. Would recommend and buy again!!
Not only were the parts the right parts the kit had all I needed to do it right the videos made it as easy as it could be. The right parts that work and good videos on how to do it. I did call to be sure I was ordering everything I was going to need and was given great advise and was not encouraged to get things that I did not need. They are my go to team to get anything trailer done.

Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Tall Front/Center/Rear
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.

U-Bolt Plate for 2" Square Axle - 1-3/4", 2" Springs - 9/16" Bolts

Curved Equalizer for 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs - 7-3/4" Long - 9/16" Center Hole
Just what i needed since my original equalizers were completely worn out .
The bolt holes are not bored center of the lobes and are not 90 degrees to the stock. The egg shaped equalizers I am replacing have more material remaining on the thin side than the new ones I just received from etrailer. NOT HAPPY Must Resolve This Issue ASAP

Replacement U-Bolt with Nuts for 1-3/4" Wide, Square Trailer Axles - 9/16" Diameter
Worked and fit perfect. Thanks
Quick delivery and excellent customer service (with follow-up emails to ensure that everything was ok with the order). This replaced a broken bolt on a 1956 camper trailer, and it's a very close match to the original.

Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers - 1-3/4" Wide Double Eye Springs - 2-1/4" Links
Got the kit today. Some of the nuts were oval and would not fit on the bolt of course. Now I have to go to box store and find nuts that fit! Not very good quality control!!
After all of the bad weather I was able to finish installing my new suspension system on my 1992 Lance Fifth Wheel. The task was much easier than I had anticipated. The instructional video you provide access to were a big help. Other than having to grind off a nut or two I had no difficulties (See attached photos). The 'list' that had developed on the fifth wheel is now resolved, and towing has already proven to be better.

CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 5-1/2" Long U-Bolts - Zinc
etrailer has become my source for almost everything for repairing or upgrading our trailer, the replacement of broken leaf springs being the most recent project. If you have questions about the correct part for your project, search the customer service frequently asked questions. There is a lot of helpful information in there that you may not find on other websites. You can also contact customer service if you don't find a useful answer.
Customer [service] was great in helping me identify the correct parts for my car hauler. Ordered on Monday, package arrived Wednesday w free shipping. HUGE difference in ride quality!

Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Front, 7/8" Rear
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.

Spring Seat for Typical 5,200-lb to 7,200-lb, Round Trailer Axles with 3" Diameter
The axles that I ordered last year are still working out great. But even better than the parts was the service I got from etrailer. It was so great working with a company who took the time to listen to my project and help me get the right parts I needed, especially coming right off the heels of a terrible experience dealing with bad information and wrong parts from a competitor. Even with some damages in shipping, the returns/ and replacements were no hassle, with most issues being quickly resolved and not even costing me any additional downtime. As a contractor keeping a small fleet rolling, your competency and professionalism have made me a customer for life!! You guys at etrailer will be my first stop for trailer parts.
Axles flipped, and going down the road.

U-Bolt Plate for 1-3/4" Square Trailer Axles with 1-3/4" Wide Springs
Had a hard time finding the u bolts until I found etrailer.com. They had exactly what I was looking for. The quality of the u bolts, nuts and the spring plates I purchased from them was great. Much better than all the wrong sized ones that I could locate locally. I would definitely buy from them again. Their communication was good as well.
They the ONLY ones I found that had the right size(apparently, 1 3/4" square axles are not common) as well as the mounting plates at a VERY reasonable price. I needed them quickly, paid a little extra in shipping, got them this morning, and finished the tandem axle trailer rebuild in early afternoon. Noticed the mounting plates were a full 1/4' thick, much stronger than my old 3/16" plates! This is he type of company one should do business with; thank you "etrailer" and your entire staff
What our customers are saying:
"Very broad selection and outstanding service."
