Video Transcript for Review of etrailer Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension - U-Bolt Plates - TRTP238175

Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this U-bolt plate for the two and three eighths inch diameter round trailer axle with the one in three quarter inch wide leaf springs. Now this is designed to fit the two and three eighths inch diameter round trailer axles which are mostly the 3,500 pound axles. And this plate here is used with U-bolts to secure the axle to the leaf springs which are then mounted to the trailer frame. And this plate here does attach with two half inch diameter U-bolts.

Now, I did want pop up an inserts to show you, there's what the suspension system would look like and you can see it marks where the U-bolts are and where the U-bolt plate is, just to give you an idea. Now this part here is just for the U-bolt plate but we do also sell the U-bolt separately. It's part number SPO1-040 and then we also sell a whole kit if you need the plate and the bolts. That whole kit we sell separately as part number CE23002. Typically, the U-bolts and the plates are replaced together when you replace your springs.

That is because the U-bolts are generally rusted and most often need to be cut off the suspension system in order to be removed. This plate here is constructed of a zinc plated steel. It is designed, as we mentioned, to work with one in three quarter inch wide leaf springs. Just give you a few specs on this plate. Overall dimension, if we do the length from one end to the other is four and three quarter inches long.

The width gonna be right at three and three quarter inches wide. Now the length from the center of the bolt hole to the center of the bolt hole, if we go this way, center to center is gonna measure right at three inches. And then if we go width wise, which would be the U-bolt goes in these two holes, center to center there is two and three eighths inches. The bolt holes themselves are nine sixteenths inch diameter. But that should do it for the review on this U-bolt plate for two and three eighths inch diameter round trailer axles with the one in three quarter inch wide leaf springs.
