U-bolt kit # APUBR-10 is the only one we carry that fits a 1-3/4 inch diameter trailer axle. You would have to change the springs to 1-3/4 inch wide springs to use this kit. A larger u-bolt kit would not work because it can cause damage.

To determine if we have springs that will work for your trailer I will need to know the type of springs you have, double-eye or slipper springs, and the measurements. A 1-3/4 inch diameter axle likely has a 2,000 pound capacity so we would be looking at 1,000 pound capacity per spring.

I have included links to the right to the double-eye and slipper spring main pages as well as links to help articles on each system for you.
