Will the CE Smith U-Bolt # CE15502A Fit Around a 3" Winch Post and Fit Through a 1/4" Plate

Question

Question:

Are these long enough to go around 3 inch winch post and through the 1/4 inch plate for mounting winch stands? Seems like 3 1/8 inch is too short.

The CE Smith U-Bolt # CE15502A that you referenced is actually only 3" long. If you have a 3" thick winch post and then a 1/4" plate on top of that it will definitely not be long enough to reach.

Instead you would want to use a longer U-Bolt like the 4" Long CE Smith # CE15503A. This one measures 3-1/8" Wide and the bolts have a 7/16" diameter just like the one you were looking at.

The #CE10002G-4 CE Smith Bolster and Swivel is 13" tall. Assuming you mount it at the position to gain the most height, you should have 9" remaining. Losing the height from attaching to the 3" crossmember leaves you with 10"…
