I have a solution for you but we do not have a 2" square u bolt kit for a 3,500 lbs square axle that is 5 3/4" long. You will need to buy the u bolts and u bolt plates separately. The Square Trailer U-Bolt item #SP01-160 comes in a 2 pack,…

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…
