C.E. Smith Axle Tie Plate Kit f/1-3/4" Round Axle

The C.E. Smith Axle Tie Plate Kit for 1-3/4" Round Axle (Part No. 23000) is a complete suspension assembly solution designed for trailer axle spring mounting and replacement. This kit provides everything required to secure fresh springs to a new or existing 1-3/4" round axle in a single, coordinated package—eliminating the need to source components from multiple suppliers.

The kit includes two galvanized tie plates engineered to distribute load across the axle tube while accommodating standard spring assemblies. Four yellow zinc-plated U-bolts provide corrosion-resistant fastening that resists rust and oxidation in freshwater and coastal environments. Eight zinc-plated nuts and lock washers ensure secure assembly with vibration resistance during transit. Galvanized and zinc-plated finishes are industry-standard for marine and outdoor trailer applications, where exposure to moisture and salt air accelerates corrosion on uncoated steel.

This kit is designed for trailer owners, fleet maintenance technicians, and off-road vehicle builders performing suspension rebuild or repair work. The 1-3/4" axle diameter is common in small- to mid-size boat trailers, utility trailers, and light-duty off-road platforms. Assemblers should verify compatibility with existing spring and axle components before installation. The complete kit weighs 2.2 lbs and is manufactured by C.E. Smith, a recognized supplier of marine and trailer hardware with broad distribution through OEM and aftermarket channels.
