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:

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:

My order arrived as described and worked perfectly.



by:

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:

They worked great. Moved the axle from above the springs to under.



by:

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.



by:

So far these have held up well. Been a year



by:

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.



by:

Looks Great !
works Great !
Thank
you,



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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:

Wheel cut old ones off, installed 1 at a time to sucess !



by:

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.



by:

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



by:

Good product fast delivery



by:

Good quality parts, easy to order and fast delivery.



by:

Made it easy to flip my axle and lower my 1956 boat trailer.



by:

works good with leaf springs.



by:

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.

This axle worked great on my trailer everything thing fit great

Works good



by:

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.

I had the u bolts pulled from the warehouse so that I could take a look at them. The u bolts that I saw still had the zinc plated finish.



by:

Year after install still good



by:

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!

Products I purchased worked great!

  • How to Determine Correct Slipper Spring Replacement for 1,500 lb Axle
    What 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...

  • U-Bolt Kits Available For Different Size Axles When Adding New Hangers
    Our 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

  • Replacement Axle Tube for a Habor Freight Model 90154 Trailer
    In 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...

  • Availability Of a Galvanized Trailer Axle For Building a Boat Trailer To Carry a Jon Boat
    The CE Smith Trailer Axle # CE33201GA is currently the only galvanized axle we carry. 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...

  • Replacement Leaf Springs and U-Bolts For Karavan 1,000LB Single Square Axle Boat Trailer
    The 2-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 1,000-lb Trailer Axles # SP-177275 are going to be the closest to what you have. Depending on the exact location your red string in relation to the end of the radius spring this may account for some of the difference in the measurements. You do appear to have plenty of clearance in your fenders if the springs are not as tall. Be sure to not reuse your current U-bolts as they appear to be for a 2" axle. The CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE23102 is specific...

  • Can Round Trailer Axle be Replaced with Square Trailer Axle
    Yes, 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

    The 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.

  • Replacement Leaf Springs and Hardware for 2008 Venture Boat Trailer
    To 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...

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.

  • Availability of 3 x 4 Inch Axle U-bolts
    Are 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...

  • Upgrading Or Replacinging Axle, Hubs, Tires, Wheels And Springs On A 2008 Jet Ski Trailer
    Hey 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...

The kit you mentioned, the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 1-1/2" Square Trailer Axles # CE23102 will work wonderfully for this application so you're all set. I have added links below to video reviews of both products as well if you'd like to check them out.

  • Recommended Jet Ski Trailer Leaf Spring U-Bolt Mounting Kit for 1-1/2 Inch Square Axle
    Recommended U-bolt Kit for square 1-1/2 inch axle and # SP-113275 springs is the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 1-1/2" Square Trailer Axles - 3-3/8" Long U-Bolts - Zinc # CE23102. This will work much better than the u-bolt that is simply used diagonally in your current photos. These are plates are galvanized and the hardware is zinc plated so they are ideal for your Jet-Ski trailer as they resist rust and corrosion.

  • 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 Trailer
    The 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.

  • Recommended 26 Inch Double Eye Springs for 1-1/2 Inch Square Axle Compatibility
    The 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...

  • Recommended U-Bolts And Plate For A 1-1/2" Wide Square Axle
    Hey 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.

  • Removing Square Axle from Leaf Springs to Replace Axle on 5x8 Trailer
    On 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...
