Important Notes About this 25 1/4″ Single Axle Leaf Spring Slider Pair and Mounting TipsThis Listing is For Both Sides, so you will get a Pair of Sliders. This Listing uses 25 1/4″ Double Eye Leaf SpringsThese Fender Mounts are 29″ Apart, so you can mount a 29 inch Long fender at the very bottom, or mount a 30″-32″ Fender slightly above the bottom of the Fender (This is the most common Fender used) You will mount your trailer fenders using 3/8″ Diameter Trailer Bolts. To Mount this assembly, you can either mount it exactly the same way your current slider system was…OROne of Two Ways. Trailer Bolts – Using 1/2″ Diameter Through Bolts is most common on I Beam Trailer frames. You will drill a hole through the Slider, and your Aluminum Frame, and using (2) Bolts per slider, mount to your trailer Frame. ( So 2 Holes per side) Boat Trailer U Bolts and U Bolt Mounting Plates – Using 1/2″ Diameter U Bolts is common on Square Tubing Frames, C Channel Frames, and even smaller I Beam Frames as it does not require drilling. The Key here is to use (2) U Bolts and (2) Plates per side that have matching widths to work with each other. You will select the Width of U Bolt that will not only be wide enough to go around your frame, but also accommodate the width of the Spring Slider. Example: A 2″ x 3″ Rectangular Tubing Frame could use a 3 inch Wide U Bolt and Matching Shackle. As the U Bolt is wider, you would set the U Bolt and Shackle at an angle, securing each side against the frame, and tighten it down. In the above example, the Length of the U Bolt could be 4 5/16″ to accommodate the height of the Frame, thickness of the Spring Slider, and Thickness of the Spring Shackle. Not all methods of mounting these sliders is identical, but common diameter trailer frames are not to difficult to identify. Sometimes, you can measure your current hardware, and purchase matching replacements. Mounting Hardware for this assembly is available separately, as not all trailers will be the same. eBay item #351640134868
