Expert Reply:
While you could physically replace the lock washer and nut included with the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE23103 with nylon lock nuts, I do not recommend doing so.
Nylon nuts deteriorate overtime and can back off where the lock washer and nut included will stay tight, and are also what these U-bolts were tested and designed for.
I included a video of the # CE23103 for you to take a look at.
