No, they do not require lock washers. The torque specs for the 9/16" diameter U-bolts item # APUBR-9 is 65-95 ft lbs. With that amount of torque on the nuts they would not back off.
What kind of trailer do you have?

Hey, how did the U-bolt kit work out on your trailer? Did the torque specs keep everything tight without needing lock washers? Your update could make it easier for the next person using the same setup.
