R&P Knowledge Hub
A U-bolt tie plate clamps the axle tube to the leaf spring pack using heavy-duty U-bolts and distributes load evenly across the spring assembly. Proper hole spacing, spring width compatibility, and axle tube diameter are critical for maintaining alignment and load integrity.
Always verify spring width (3"), axle tube diameter (5"), and U-bolt diameter (3/4") before ordering replacement components.
