Expert Reply:

My recommendation for your application is to use the Dexter Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2-1/2" Slipper Springs - 5-1/4" Front # HAP-158-00. This can be used with the 10K GD Spring Eye Bolt w/ Grease Zerk # 7-135-2 and Locknut - 3/4" x 10 - Hex # 6-113.

For your U-bolts, I recommend the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 7-1/4" Long U-Bolts # APUBR-9. This will fit your measurements at 3 inches inside, and 7-1/4 inches from inside to end. This is made for 3 inch axles.
