Mount your square, 1-1/2" 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: Scott 01/10/2024
The u-bolts have stood up pretty well to the elements and strong enough to pull my full 2k pound trailer. So far so good with the zinc protection, hope it lasts as good as other finish options
by: John 09/19/2023
Fit around axle is good but bolts could stand to be at least an inch longer, only tighten up flush with plate under my 5 leaf springs, could not use lock washers had to use red Loctite.
by: Tamera W01/31/2024
They worked great. Moved the axle from above the springs to under.

I did a complete overhaul and upgrade on my boat trailer. I put stiffer springs on and this bolt kit was a must have. e trailer was the only place that had enough inventory to get me the right size ubolt. Has been flawless in use.

So far these have held up well. Been a year

Ordered early Friday morning before business hours. Parts arrived the following Wensday afternoon via UPS.
The only concern I had with the two springs I ordered was the cheap nylon bushing they came with. I would have preferred neoprene but the springs were stamped made in China so......
Springs and hanger kit I ordered went together and look good.

My old u bolts and leaf springs were rusted through so bad I had to cut them off. I had such a hard time finding replacement parts for my little boat trailer with such a small 1 1/2 inch axel. This was exactly what I needed! Fit perfectly with my New 24 5/8 x 1 3/4 inch leaf springs.
by: Steven 09/15/2023
I was able to locate what I needed without a part number because of the efficiencies of your search engine and thorough description of the product. I’d been to a half dozen local locations before checking with you. Shipping was timely, so it worked out well, thanks.

Just ordered another set. Build my own axles with spindles and hubs from e trailer along with 1 1/2 " square tubing. This u bolt kit is complete and the best price I have found. Picture wont show the u bolts but it will show you what I do with them.

They worked great. Replaced my old rusted axle brackets with ease. And for a lot less than what the local trailer shop wanted to charge.

Looks to fit fine. I upgraded the nuts and washers to grade 8s.

Replaced rusty springs on a 14' skiff trailer. Fit perfect, DIY for cheap in the driveway, it would've been easier with an impact wrench. Take their advice, etrailer is the best for a reason, get ALL NEW HARDWARE TOO!! I broke several fasteners removing them, if the springs are bad, so is the hardware. I have done three hitches and a set of leaf springs now with these folks. Their install videos and expert advice made it a breeze to save probably a couple thousand in labor at a shop.

works good with leaf springs.
by: James07/23/2022
This kit worked well for mounting 1 1/2" guide-ons on my trailer but they are not going to last long for my salt water application. Only the plate (which I didn't use) is zinc plated. The U-bolts, nuts and lock washers are plated with something but they are not zinc plated as indicated in the description.

This axle worked great on my trailer everything thing fit great

Needed to replace springs on a kayak trailer, this kit did the trick. The things we like best about etrailer are the specific descriptions and videos. All we needed were a few measurements and ordering the perfect parts was simple. Trailer is ready for another great paddling season!

Using this well described kit to rebuild my suspension was a great decision and it led to complete restoration of the whole kayak trailer. Better than new now!

Year after install still good
by: Rod10/20/2018
The product itself was good, however in my case the u-bolts ware to short to get full thread engagement or the lock washers. All I ended up using were the rectangle plates, nuts and washers. It would be nice If there was option to get longer u-bolts. The additional (longer bolts) and plates I had to fabricate, cost me more than your kit. I should have made all the parts myself. It still would would have cost me more, but the trouble I went thru would have been known up front. I will still use your company for other trailer parts, but I will now cautious.

The u-bolt kit is designed for use with 1/2 square axles only. If used with the axle its intended for, they will fit perfectly.
by: Jay05/29/2018

- What Does the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 1-1/2" Square Trailer Axles # CE23102 Come WithThe CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 1-1/2" Square Trailer Axles # CE23102 that you referenced includes two u-bolt plates, 8 nuts and washers, and 4 u-bolts. In other words it comes with two sets and not just one like you asked.
view full answer... - 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... - U-Bolt Kit For Replacing Leaf Springs On a Trailer With Square Aluminum AxleWhile I do not see we carry any slipper leaf springs close to your measurements we do have a couple U-bolt kits for you to select from with having a square axle. We have a kit for 1-1/2" Square # CE23102 or 2" Square # CE23103 axles. I may be able to help you find a viable replacement leaf spring to go to double eye or another type of slipper spring but I will need some photos of your hangers along with any weight capacity information on your trailer or axle.
view full answer... - Recommended U-Bolts And Plate For A 1-1/2" Wide Square AxleHey Roy, The only U-bolt kit we currently only offer for 1-1/2" square axles is part # CE23102, which only has a 3-3/8" length so it likely wouldn't be the best option for you. Instead you'll want to order the 1-1/2" Square Trailer U-Bolts # SP01-120 and two of the U-Bolt Plate # 115983 to mount your axle to the leaf springs # SP-210275.
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... - Upgrading Or Replacinging Axle, Hubs, Tires, Wheels And Springs On A 2008 Jet Ski TrailerHey Steve, I can definitely help with this. A lot to unpack here so I will do my best to cover everything. Let's start with the axle/spindles, since that will directly tie into what hubs, wheels and tires we end up going with. As far as the axle, we do not have anything with a 54" hub face (HF) measurement. We do have the CE Smith Trailer Axle # CE33201GA-HUB, which has a 57-1/2" HF measurement. It is rated for 1,800 lbs and the axle itself is a 1-1/2" square tube. This axle also comes...
view full answer... - Replacement Axle Tube for a Habor Freight Model 90154 TrailerIn order to determine if we have a new axle beam that will work for you, we would first need to do some measuring. The measurements that will need to be taken are from the center of each spring seat on the axle you have now as well as the distance between the two hub faces. I have attached a photo of this for you as well. The most important measurement that you need to verify is the hub face as the spring seats can be moved. For example, if you have a hub face of 60" you can then use...

- Compatibility of 3500 lb Double Eye Springs on 1-1/2 Inch Square Trailer AxleThe 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/8" Long # e54SR would be a little firm if you are hauling the trailer without a snowmobile, but with one or more it would be fine. The additional weight capacity of the spring will not enhance your trailer's overall capacity. This is because you would still be limited by the weakest part of the system very likely your axle. I recommend using the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 1-1/2" Square Trailer Axles - 3-3/8" Long U-Bolts...
view full answer... - Replacement 26 Inch Long Leaf Spring and U-Bolt Kit for Lightweight Square Axle TrailerWe do have some parts that will work for your application! For leaf springs you'll want to choose one of the following based off of the weight capacity: 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - # e77SR 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,500-lb Trailer Axles - # e27SR Then for a U-Bolt kit we have the CE Smith # CE23102 designed for 1-1/2" square axles. Attached are some videos for you to check out.

view full answer... - Availability of U-Bolt Kit for 1-1/2 inch Trailer AxleFor 1-1/2 inch square axles we have the axle u-bolt kit part # CE23102 which comes with mounting plates as well.
view full answer... - How to Determine Correct Slipper Spring Replacement for 1,500 lb AxleWhat happens to slipper springs is that over time they elongate and flatten out, particularly if your springs are considerably older. The most important measurement you mentioned was the 26 inches from the center of the spring eye to the end of the spring. Based on that the closest slipper spring we have that could work is the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 1,500-lb Trailer Axles - 24-5/8" Long # SP-178275, which would work if you had a tandem-axle trailer. There are no slipper...

- Parts Needed For Adding 1,000LB Slipper Springs To a Cart With No SuspensionYou will need 2 of the Front # CE14016G and Rear # CE14017G hanger brackets to attach 2 of the 2-Leaf Slipper Springs # SP-177275 to your cart. You will need 2 of the Zinc Shackle Bolts # TRFA73Z916DLNZ to attach the leaf springs to the front hanger. If you can tell what shape and size axle you have I can help you find the U-Bolt Kit you need. We have some like the 1-1/2" Square # CE23102 or 1-3/4" Round # CE23000 depending on the size of your axle.
view full answer... - Can Round Trailer Axle be Replaced with Square Trailer AxleYes, you can replace a trailer's round axle with a square axle as long as the weight capacity is appropriate. You will need a new U-bolt kit to connect the axle: 1-1/2 inch square axles # CE23102 1-3/4 inch square axles # 175130 for the U-Bolts and # 116308 for the plate 2 inch square axles # CE23103

Attached is a link to our selection of leaf springs for a 2,000 lb trailer axle. These are 3 and 4 leaf springs and to select the correct one you'll need to measure the distance from the center-eye to center-eye of your current leaf springs when the load is taken off of them. For a U-Bolt kit it looks like the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 1-1/2" Square Trailer Axles # CE23102 will fit the bill. Attached is...

This is an 1,800lb axle with 57-1/2" from hub face to hub face and 46-1/2" from spring center to spring center. The CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE23102 is going to be what you need to attach the axle to the leaf springs. You will pair this with 2 of the Hub Assemblies # AKIHUB-440-2-G-2K. I recommend replacing the caps with the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A-SS as they will allow you to fully fill...
view full answer... - Thread Length of the U-Bolts of the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit CE23102I spoke with my contact at CE Smith and he informed me that the threaded portion of the U-bolts of the # CE23102 are 2-1/2 inches in length.
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...

- Removing Square Axle from Leaf Springs to Replace Axle on 5x8 TrailerOn square axles, there is traditionally a hole that the leaf spring has a nub that fits in to act as that securing point that a spring seat on round axles would and then the u-bolts secure the axle to the springs. You can see this on the CE Smith Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Standard Spindles - Galvanized - 57-1/2" Long - 1.8K # CE33201GA and photos on part # CE23102. There is often a need once the u-bolts are removed to use direct downward force or even a pry bar to separate the springs...
view full answer... - 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... - Replacement Axle and Suspension System For a Small Boat Trailer With 55" Wide AxleI have a couple options for you. First our closest axle to what you have is the CE Smith Trailer Axle # CE33201GA which has a hub face to hub face measurement of 57-1/2" so it will make the trailer wider. For leaf springs the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles # e77SR are going to be our closest to your weight rating and length. This will require you to move your existing hangers to accommodate the new leaf springs. Finally you will need 2 Hubs # AKIHUB-440-2-G-EZ-2K, a...

- Replacement Axle With 57-1/2" Hub Face Measurement and 46-1/2" Spring Center SpreadThe CE Smith Trailer Axle # CE33201GA-HUB matches exactly what you are looking for. This axle has a hub face spread measurement of 57-1/2" and the spring center to spring center is 46-1/2". It also includes the idler hubs with bearings and seals for a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. This will attach with the U-Bolt Kit # CE23102.
view full answer... - Replacement 1-1/2 Inch Square Axle for a Boat TrailerI do have some options for you but none of our trailer axles match the exact measurements that you provided. Therefore, the best option we have for you would be to switch to an axle less system like the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # A20RS545 which will replace the axle, leaf springs, and leaf spring hangers in light of a rubber suspension system that works to absorb road shock and support the trailers load better than standard leaf springs. The other option you have...

- Recommended 26 Inch Double Eye Springs for 1-1/2 Inch Square Axle CompatibilityThe 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e94SR are way to strong a spring for your 1-1/2 inch square axle. Typically 1-1/2 inch square axles have a capacity between 1000 and 2000 lbs. I recommend instead using the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e77SR which will match the standard capacity without making the ride too firm adding to bounce. Don't worry about the number or leaves but rather the capacity rating. I also recommend...
