Video Transcript for Redline Round Trailer Axles U-Bolt Mounting Kit Installation
Today on our fifth wheel trailer we'll be installing the Red Line U-Bolt Kit for mounting 5,200 pound to 7,000 pound round trailer axles. This is part number APUBR-9. Here's what our kit consists of. We have the two flanges here that will go on top of our axle which will secure our u-bolts to the top and hold our axle in place to release springs. We have the necessary two, one per side and then the necessary four u-bolts, and then the eight nuts to secure it. The reason you want this is in case you ever need to replace a bent or damaged u-bolt or hanger assembly, or if you ever need to remove one a lot of the times they have a nylon lock nut on and you cannot remove the nut easily without causing damage to the threads of the u-bolt.
As you can see here ours rusted and bent and they had to be cut to be removed. If you have a situation like we did here today, this is the perfect kit for you to replace this. Now that we've gone over what's included in our u-bolt kit, we'll go ahead and show you how to install it. As you can see here we just have our axle sitting atop of our release spring here, and it's not secured. This is where the u-bolts come in play, and they'll secure our axle to release spring. We'll take our plate here, notice it's got these ridges.
These bridges need to face up. Here's our centering pin on our release spring, it goes in the center hole here on our plate. We'll drop that over, as you can see that holds it in place. I have our two u-bolts here and our four nuts. We'll start with one u-bolt, come up from the bottom, take two nuts ... We'll take our second u-bolt just like we did on the outside edge, come up and place our nuts on.
Now we use a 7/8ths socket and a ratchet and we'll snug these down. See, now that they're snug we'll torque them down. When we do our final torque we'll do it like the lug nuts on a wheel, in a star pattern, just to make sure the torque is evenly applied to your bolts. With that done we'll do the same on the other side now. That completes our installation of the Red Line U-Bolt Kit for mounting 5,200 pound to 7,000 pound round trailer axles.
Part number APUBR-9 on on our fifth wheel trailer.

Mount your round, 3" diameter axle to your trailer's leaf springs with this U-bolt kit. U-bolts, plates and nuts included.by: Brock04/30/2022
There was a mix up between original estimated delivery before and after purchase. Sent an email regarding the matter, the team responded quickly and got my products out the next day.
by: Paul04/08/2022
Looks like good quality. The U-bolts are bigger than what is on the trailer and that is good!
by: Ken02/14/2022
Received an empty box with a hole in it. Contents must have fallen out somewhere and Fed Ex delivered me an empty box. Maybe use UPS to ship items.

No problems with service and the product.
Excellent company to do business with. Always glad to have etrailer available for go to supplies at lowest cost.
by: Ben R. 06/26/2016
I chose this particular kit mainly for the 9/16" u-bolts. I could have easily used the 1/2" kit but it was a nice upgrade and not much difference in cost. These u-bolts and plates fit my car trailer perfectly without any modifications. Everything in product description was just what it said when I received them. Shipping was faster than I expected!

Excellent parts for the project I was working on. I installed a 1997 Chevy axle on a 1950 International box trailer. With a few “adjustments”, I made it work!

Perfect fit, another quality set of parts from etrailer. Cut the old ones off. Put new ones on. No fuss.

As good or better than original, no problems at all
Chuck - 07/01/2021by: Ken11/25/2019
I orderd u bolts and when we went to use them found the nuts that came with them was coarse threads instead of fine. We purchased the correct ones and then found they would not tighten all the way up do to threads being flattened half way up the u bolt. Had to end up using some old ones I had to complete the install of springs on trailer.

I finished installing my new springs on my trailer today. Every thing went together without any problem.i am very pleased with your product.
by: Robert S04/06/2017
Replaced the 4 leaf leaf springs on my 5th wheel with the 5 leaf leaf springs and the mounting kit, so far it seems to have solved the problem of the springs breaking. The trailer handles better then ever on the highway and the back roads. Couldn't be happier.

After 30 years and many miles of towing, my trailer suspension finally succumbed to the ravages of Michigan roads and the salt used on them. I replaced the original single leaf spring suspension with a new multi-leaf system from etrailer.com and couldn't be happier with the results. The trailer tows much nicer now and with everything new and tight my tires are wearing at a much slower pace. I have since ordered a hitch coupler rebuild kit from etrailer.com which installed easily and is working very well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend etrailer.com to anyone.

3 U-bolt kits, the hangers, rockers, etc. kit for a triple axle trailer, and 3 new sets of leaf springs went on a home-made 25' gooseneck we converted from 2 axle to 3 axle. We had no problems at all with the trailer since installation, and we've had it loaded down pretty well with logs, lumber, tractors, and equipment. Everything has held up well after several hours of service on the road and off-road. etrailer has always been great to work with, have had fast, accurate delivery, and timely updates on order status, etc. We've never had a problem, so I can't say how well Customer Service is!

by: Dave W05/07/2017
The U-bolts work fine - the 'universal' plate not so much. It's at least one steel gauge thickness less then the original Dexter. I reordred replacements for new springs then dug the original plates out of my spares stash, opened the hole a bit and am now using the Dexter's along with some washers Redline doesn't supply.
by: Mark V. 05/28/2016
I bought new leaf springs and all the hardware to go with them. The only thing that was missing with this hardware was lock-washers. There were lock washers on the old springs so I thought it would be a good idea to have them on the new springs. These U bolts were thicker than the ones that I replaced so I had to get new washers at the local hardware store.

Looks to be a perfect fit, but haven't installed yet. Arrived on time and intact, will definitely check etrailer.com for my future trailer parts needs

- How to Determine Correct U-Bolt Kit and Leaf Spring Bushing for a 6,000 Lb Trailer AxleA 6,000 lb axle is usually going to be 3" in diameter. Therefore, for the u-bolts you can use part # APUBR-8 for 7" long or part # APUBR-9 for 7-1/4" long. You can measure your existing u-bolts or from the bottom of the axle to the top of the leaf spring pack in order to determine which length you need. You can always choose the longer option and cut away any remaining threads if necessary. Most leaf springs for 6,000 lb axles are 1-3/4" wide and will use a 9/16" bolt. If this is the case...
view full answer... - Can a Three Leaf Spring Stack Be Used To Replace a Two Leaf Spring StackYes, you can replace a two leaf spring stack with a three leaf spring stack so long as your center to center (double eye springs only) measurement matches but please note the loaded and unloaded as well as the new and used center to center measurements will be different. There is a correlation between the numbers of leaves in a stack and the weight capacity of that stack but there are also two leaf spring stacks with the same weight capacity as three leaf spring stacks so going by the rated...
view full answer... - Will 2-1/2 Inch U-Bolts Fit a 6,000-Lb Hammerblow Axle On a Homebuilt TrailerThe U-bolts on a trailer suspension are designed to attach the leaf springs to the axle of the trailer. The U-bolts will need to fit the diameter of your axle. I would recommend to measure the diameter of the axle. A 6,000-lb axle should have a diameter of 3 inches. The spindle that is attached to the axle will measure 2-1/4 inches in diameter. There is not a U-bolt available in a width of 2-1/4 inches. The Redline Replacement U-Bolt, part # 176500, is a U-bolt that is designed for 5,200-lb,...

These hold the axle to the leaf springs. The bolts that hold the springs to the frame are also 9/16 inches and # 166081.
view full answer... - Compatibility of Axle U-Bolts for the RM-2460The holes in the top plate of the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers # RM-2460 are for 9/16 inch diameter u-bolts like # APUBR-9. The system will actually utilize your current u-bolts for mounting those plates. I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster and the bolt hole size on the 3" shock plate is slightly slotted so it is 0.6" x 0.75".
view full answer... - U-Bolt Kit for a Trailer with 3 Inch Diameter Axles Rated for 7,000 PoundsSticking with the 1/2 inch u-bolts is perfectly fine for your 7,000 pounds axles. Going to 9/16 inch wouldn't hurt either and if you decide to go that route then you will also need to replace the u-bolt plates and the nuts. For a kit that includes the u-bolts, plates, and nuts I recommend # APUBR-9. You would need 1 per axle. I have included a link to a video of this product for you.

- How to Raise a 2011 Dutchmen Aerolite Trailer with Axle Flip KitYes, you can install lift blocks between the leaf spring perch/seat and leaf springs on your trailer to give you additional clearance between the top of your tire and trailer fender. However, you will also need longer u-bolts for this like the U-Bolt Kit part # APUBR-9 which is 7-1/4" long. We currently do not carry lift blocks so you will need to source these elsewhere. The other option you have which would perhaps allow you to retain more of the factory ride quality is to install taller...

For a 2-3/8" round axle use # APUBR-1 For a 3" round axle use # APUBR-9 You don't want to actually turn the axle over, because it would have your wheel camber going the wrong way.

- Correct Replacement Leaf Springs and U-Bolts for Grand Design Imagine 2150RBThe 2019 Grand Design Imagine 2150RB will most likely use the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer part # SP-212275 (25-1/8" Long) but you can take a simple measurement to confirm. Please note, old springs are longer than new ones and they should be measured unloaded. In regards to a u-bolt kit, this trailer will use a U-Bolt Kit part # APUBR-1 for 2-3/8" axles or a U-Bolt Kit part # APUBR-9 for 3" axles.

The leaf springs would just be slightly overrated for what you need but there will be no problems with compatibility. It does require that you un-bolt the u-bolts so we recommend replacing them at this time using the U-Bolt Kit part # APUBR-9.

The axles can be flipped with a new u-bolt kit, the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles part # APUBR-9.
