Video Transcript for CE Smith Trailer Suspension - Leaf Spring Suspension - CE23103 Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at the CE Smith u-bolt kit for mounting 2" square trailer axles. The mounting kit is going to attach a trailer axle to the leaf spring. The plates are going to be galvanized steel, then the hardware is going to be steel construction but that's going to have a zinc plated finish on it, so overall the unit is going to do a great job at resisting rust and corrosion. This kit is going to include 4 u-bolts, 2 u-bolt plates, and then it's going to come with the appropriate hardware, so you're going to get 8 hex nuts and 8 washers, and those are going to be lock washers. We can tell that this is designed for 1 3/4" springs simply by taking a measurement between this hole and this hole, and we can see that- that measurement is right at 1 3/4". Now the plates themselves going this direction we're looking at 3 3/4", and then going this direction it's going to have a measurement of 4". It does have the center hole for punch out on the spring.
Then right here for the u-bolts, a couple measurements I want to go over with these, these are going to give us an inner width, measuring inside edge to inside edge, of just over 2" so that's how we know that there are designed for a 2" wide square axle. Center on center those posts are going to be separated by 2 5/8". The length, measuring from the bottom of this area here to the end of the stud, that's going to give a measurement of right at 4 1/2". Then the diameter of the u-bolts, so the thickness right here outside edge to outside edge, there are going to be a 1/2" diameter. That's going to do it for today's look at the CE Smith u-bolt kit for mounting 2" square trailer axles.

Mount your square, 2" wide axle to your trailer's leaf springs with this U-bolt kit. U-bolts, plates, nuts, and washers included. Zinc plating resists rust and corrosion - great for boat trailers.by: Gary07/22/2023
Arrived well packed and as advertised.
I'm going to pull the azle out of the boat trailer
and wanted to have this 'on hand' should I break
some of my U bolts. I've bought from you before -
always been happy, thanks
by: Jon 05/23/2023
Would have gotten 5 stars if delivered within 3 days. Otherwise product fit. Thanks
by: Eric 04/05/2024
Worked perfect for mounting a storage box to my boat trailer.
by: dennis07/14/2017
Complete waste of time and money. I bought both springs, and this set of u-bolts plates from etrailer for a new 2" square axle. The u-bolts are too short. I'd suggest someone buy a new tape measure.
I also had to grind down the spring center bolt as it stuck out of the small adapter plate and kept the spring from seating correctly (used the adapter palte which came with the springs instead of drilling a big hole in my brand new axle.)
It is getting harder and harder to get the parts I need from these folks.
Now waiting for parts to come from another vendor.
by: David05/05/2022
Everything fit perfect. I had to replace the leaf springs on my boat trailer. I have a 24' fiberglass boat that is launched and retrieved in the salt water the original springs only lasted 7 years. The new springs are heavier duty and painted or coated with a better material. Over al very very pleased.

After 1 year everything is still workong great.
by: Philip12/07/2023
Good product, fit as expected. One year in and ubolts are holding up great.
by: Deano12/05/2020
I used this kit to replace the rusted ones on my flatbed trailer. I also flipped it so the axle is on top of the springs to lower it for loading my lawn tractor. See before and after pics.
by: Greg08/05/2023
The 26” on center leaf springs that I just purchased were delivered quickly and worked perfectly on my trailer. The only issue was that I ordered 3” shackle bolts (my fault) but really needed 3 1/2” so I returned them to etrailer. The return process was very easy, they sent me a RMA # and the shipping label my email, and I just dropped it off at the UPS store. Great doing business with etrailer!!!!!

Exactly what I needed

Priced fairly and shipped quickly.

Exactly as described. Made replacing my axle a piece of cake!

WOW sums up my recent trailer part purchases. The u-bolts fit perfectly and are well made...see attached photo and of my trailer with new parts installed. Outstanding quality, price, lightning fast delivery, and exceptional customer service from order to drop off at my doorstep. Will recommend and order again. Well done, e-trailer, and Thanks.
by: Aaron10/22/2023
Good parts but they will not fit on springs with 6 leafs. The ubolts are too short. You need 5” bolts or longer.
by: Kyle 02/26/2024
Good Stuff

Out standing as all was. shipping is out standing order them on Friday after hours they where at my door Tuesday the next week out standing shipping.

Easy transaction. Quick delivery. Parts in good condition and fit/work well. Installed in less than 1 hour.

Fit my load rite boat trailer, bought with springs. Good quality!
by: Toby08/17/2023
Will work with the springs I purchased, but beware if your spring pack is over an inch thick on a 2x3 axle, you will need longer u bolts. And I didn’t see longer than 4.5” offered at etrailer
by: Larry 04/03/2024
Good stuff and a day early!
by: Luke 09/08/2023
Excellent product, perfect fit for my older trailer. Great customer support via phone to confirm all measurements before buying. Very happy customer!

Good setvice. Just what I ordered.
by: Cape Jim08/10/2017
Wth rusted out leaf springs on my trailer but with zero experience replacing them, I contacted etrailer and Shawn was very helpful in selecting the right parts and taking me through the process. She was patient in terms of helping me take the right measurements and suggesting the bolts and pieces I needed to do the job right.
Everything came well packaged and complete two days later. An hour after that the springs were in my trailer and now has a boat sitting on it.
Thanks!

- Can Axle Over Under Kit be Installed on Trailer with 2 inch Square AxlesAxle flip kits are great options for raising the suspension of a trailer. Trucks weren't as tall back then as they are now so I'm not totally surprised your trailer is sitting so nose high. We have 2 inch square U-bolt kits like part # CE23103 which you could use, but we don't have spring seats for this axle size. So you would have to remove the spring seats on your axle and weld them on the other side.
view full answer... - Replacement Leaf Springs and Hardware for 2008 Venture Boat TrailerTo find replacement leaf springs you will need to know your axle capacity along with the length of your current leaf springs. If you don't already know the axle capacity I would try checking the axle tag to see if it is listed. If not, you can call Venture with the VIN and they should be able to tell you. Once you have the capacity go ahead and measure the length of your leaf springs. This is the spring eye to spring eye measurement. I have attached an article below which has a video...
view full answer... - Replacement Leaf Spring Assembly for a Single Axle Cargo TrailerThank you for the photos! They really helped. For your double eye leaf springs, the 4-leaf 25-1/8" Long, part # e54SR, that you referenced are in fact the right ones for you. The reason they are slightly shorter than your current ones is because they tend to stretch a little over time. Also, remember that you will need two. From your photo, it looks like you might have trouble with the existing hardware when removing the old springs and installing the new ones due to rust. If you end...

- Switching From Slipper Springs to Double-Eye on a Single 2K Axle Trailer with Square AxleTo switch to double-eye spring suspension I recommend getting parts individually since the u-bolts cannot be swapped out of kits. The spring in the kit is # e84SR. We have a few different u-bolt kits for square axles including # CE23102 for 1-1/2 inch square axles. For a 1-3/4 inch square axles you can use u-bolt # 175130 and plate # 116308. And for 2 inch square axles we have # CE23103. You will also need a new hanger kit since double-eye springs use different hangers than slipper springs....
view full answer... - Looking For A 2" Square U-Bolt At Least 5-1/2" LongHello Ben. We do have the 2" Square Trailer U-Bolt # SP01-160 which sounds like it will fit your needs. This has a 9/16" diameter and is 5-3/4" long overall. You can use it along with the U-bolt plate # 117594.
view full answer... - Are Trailer Spring Seats Needed for Square Axles with Leaf Springs?Square axles normally don't have spring seats like a round axle but do have a hole for the leaf spring bolt to fit into. Take a look at the CE SMITH # CE33201GA-HUB for a visual. The U-bolt mounting kits will have a hole in the center for the other side of that leaf spring bolt to keep everything in line. If you have a 1-1/2 inch square axle use # CE23102. If you have a 2 inch axle use # CE23103.

- Replacement Leaf Springs for Harbor Freight Folding TrailerThe best option we have for you is the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # e84SR with the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit part # APS4. This option will replace the leaf springs and leaf spring hanger brackets which is needed because the new double eye leaf springs are 1-3/4" wide and the old slipper springs are 2" wide not to mention the length discrepancy and leaf spring hanger bracket height. The CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting part # CE23102 or part # CE23103 can then be used to complete...
view full answer... - Replacement U-Bolt Kit, Leaf Springs, Bolts and Shackles for 68 Aristocrat Lo Liner TrailerInstalling the U-bolts and plate like that would be fine, but I would recommend putting the plate on the leaf springs and running the U-bolts around the axle instead. The good news is you're replacing them so you can make that change when you install them. Once you have your axle measurements we do have some kits you could use. If it is a 2" square axle the # CE23103 or for a 1-1/2" square axle the # CE23102. If it is 1-3/4" you will need the # 175130 along with the # 116308. Since you...

- My 1971 Ideal Camper Has a Different Leaf Spring On One Wheel and Random Hardware In SuspensionWith the age of your 1971 Ideal 22' Camper I am going to recommend changing out all the suspension components. I happened to notice some of the hardware was also replaced at some time as well and it does not look like they used the correct parts either. For the Leaf Springs you will need to jack up the camper to remove as much weight from the suspension as possible. You will need to measure the spring in a few places to be able to ensure that you find the correct replacements. I have...

- Hanger Kit Recommendation for Slipper Leaf Spring # e33SRSounds like what you are in need of is a single axle hanger kit for the leaf spring part # e33SR that you mentioned. For that you'd only need the # APS3SE and you'd be set. This gives you the hangers for the front and rear for the spring as well as the correct nut and bolt to hold it all. For a u-bolt kit you'd then want the part # CE23103 for the axles.
view full answer... - Availability of 7/16 Nuts to Fit Redline Replacment U-Bolt UBZC716X212X400The reason why you couldn't find the matching 7/16"-14 nuts to go with the Replacement U-Bolt for 2" Wide, Square Axles - 7/16" Diameter # UBZC716X212X400 is because we do not carry them. We carry U-Bolt kits that include the matching nuts and washers, like part # CE15251A, which are the same grade (GR 5) and share the same dimensions (4" long x 2-1/8" wide x 7/16" diameter). Or, part # CE23103, which includes the more common 4-1/2" long x 1/2" diameter U-bolts for 2" square axles, hardware...
view full answer... - Recommended 30 Inch Slipper Springs and 2 Inch Square Axle Mounting KitFor your 2,000 lb square axle, I recommend the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End for 2,900-lb Trailer Axles - 30" Long # SP-039275 which is a little stronger than your axle but won't increase your capacity of 2,000 lbs. This is a 30 inch long slipper spring with a 1.75 inch width as you stated. I recommend using the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long # 166079 with each spring. For your square axle mounting, I recommend the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting...

You will need the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE23103 to attach your 2" square axles.
view full answer... - Is There Way to Do Over Under Kit with 2 inch Square Axle on Trailer We have 2 inch square U-bolt kits like part # CE23103 which you could use, but we don't have spring seats for this axle size. So you would have to remove the spring seats on your axle and weld them on the other side and you'd be have an over-under kit that fits your axle. You might have to drill spring seats in the axle.
view full answer... - U-Bolt Kits Available For Different Size Axles When Adding New HangersOur U-Bolt kits are available separately due to axles having different sized and most hanger kits can be used with several different size axles. Here is a list of different size kits depending on your axle size. 1-3/4" Round Axle # CE23000 2-3/8" Round Axle # CE23002 3" Round Axle # CE23003 1-1/2" Square # CE23102 2" Square # CE23103
view full answer... - 2 inch Square Axle U-Bolt Kit Recommendation for a Boat TrailerThe CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 2" Square Trailer Axles # CE23103 that you referenced would work well for you as they are designed specifically for 2 inch square trailer axles like what you have. The weight of your trailer and boat would not be an issue at all.

- Replacement Slipper Springs for a 2,100 lb TrailerThe most important factor in picking out a new leaf spring for a trailer is to match the capacity needed. Going with a 3,500 lb spring for a 2,100 lb trailer is going to give you a very harsh ride. For a spring similar to the # WIG4 that is better rated for your trailer we have the # SP-039275 which is for a 3,000 lb axle or part # e29SR for a 2,000 lb axle. If you need all 2,100 lbs of your trailer's capacity you would have to go with the # SP-039275. If you have a 2 inch square axle...
view full answer... - Replacement Springs for Fulton Boat TrailerYour 32 inch springs were likely a little shorter than that originally and have flattened over time. It sounds like what you are looking at, the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End part # SP-040275, a 30" long x 1-3/4" wide will work. If you need it, there's a U-Bolt Kit # CE23103 and for suspension bolts, the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs, # 166079.

- Needing U-Bolts to Fit Around 2x3 Trailer Frame MemberGiven the dimensions you provided, I believe that a u-bolt kit such as # CE23103 that's typically used to mount a 2 inch square trailer axle to the leaf spring pack would be your best bet. The kit includes two assemblies, each of which includes two 4-1/2 inch long 1/2 inch U-bolts with a 2-1/8 inch inside span, two bolt plates and the necessary nuts and lock washers. I've linked to a product description video for the U-bolt kit I recommended.

- Recommended Axle Mounting Hardware for Square AxleIt sounds like the axles were attached with 2 inch U-bolts that are 1/2 inch diameter which are a standard size so it sounds like the axles are compatible with a standard U-bolt kit like the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 2" Square Trailer Axles - 4-1/2" Long U-Bolts - Zinc # CE23103. If this is the case, that is my recommendation. This will work well with 1-3/4 inch wide leaf springs. If I misunderstood and the 2 inch U-bolts were bent out to fit a 2-1/2 inch wide square axle, then...

- Availability of 3 x 4 Inch Axle U-boltsAre you speaking of an axle U-bolt that joins the leaf springs to the axle? Is the width you mention the overall width of the U-bolt, or the inside width? We do offer a U-bolt kit similar to the # CE23102 kit you'd looked at. The # CE23103 includes 1/2 inch diameter U-bolts that are 4-1/2 inches long that have an inside span of 2-1/8 inches and an outside width of 3-1/8 inches as shown in the provided photo. CE Smith doesn't offer the U-bolts as a separate item, they're only available...
view full answer... - Replacement Suspension for Tandem Square Axle Venture Boat TrailerI reached out to the manufacturer but they are not currently able to look up VIN numbers for part assistance. I was able to find on their website that the square tube axles are either 2000 lbs capacity each or the more common 3,500 lbs capacity each. Most of their trailers utilize the 3,500 lb axles and I believe that is the case for all their tandem axle trailers. For your trailer you can use the following: -Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs - 3-3/4" Tall Front/Center/Rear...

You will also need to cut off your spring seats and weld on the old ones or new ones to the top assuming your axle uses them. Spring seats for a 2" square axle are not something that we carry. Alternatively, you may need to drill a hole if that is what you have now instead of spring seats. It all depends on your current setup since it varies on square axles.
