Question:
Can you please assist me in determining what U-Bolts I should use with this leaf spring? Also, I currently do not have wet bolts, however I am thinking of changing to those as well. Can you assist me with determining what wet bolt kit would be best? I have included a photo of our axle label if that helps. Our RV is a 2022 Keystone Cougar 316RLS. Thank you.

Hey Ken!
The 6,000 lbs. 6760401 Dexter axle on your Keystone Cougar 316RLS is a 3" axle, so the perfect u-bolt kit for you is the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles # APUBR-8. This u-bolt kit will work seamlessly with your 1-3/4" double-eye springs and 3" axles. It includes 4 u-bolts and 8 nuts to cover one full axle, so you will need two kits for your Cougar.
The correct bolts for your setup are in the Lippert Trailer Suspension Wet Shoulder Bolts # LC56RP. These bolts have the grease zerk to allow you to service the suspension at anytime and extend the life of all of your suspension components. I recommend this 4-pack bolts by themselves if you don't want to do a full replacement of all of the components using a kit like MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers # MR46ZR, but if your shackle straps and bushings also need to be replaced, then go with this kit instead.
Where do you usually take your Cougar—mountain boondocking or paved campgrounds?
