This Zinc plated five-hole U-bolt plate is a direct replacement for u-bolt kits that fit 3" diameter round axles. These will typically be axles that are 5200 - 7000 pound 6 lug and 8 lug axles. The zinc plating is designed to resist corrosion and increase the longevity of your U-bolts and hardware. This style of plate is most commonly used with 9/16" diameter U-bolts, spaced 3" apart to accommodate the width of the axle, and 2" apart to fit the width of the springs.
