Keep the axle clamped tight to the leaf spring pack with the SKP Leaf Spring Axle U-Bolt Plate SKA01386. This plate is the piece the U-bolts pass through to hold the axle housing against the leaf spring, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of GM heavy-half and one-ton trucks — the 1988-2000 Chevrolet C2500, C3500, K2500 and K3500 and GMC C2500, C3500, K2500 and K3500, plus the 1992-1999 Chevrolet and GMC C2500 Suburban and K2500 Suburban (all with the [All] engine listing).
Signs the original may need replacing include corrosion, cracking, or a bent, distorted plate that no longer holds the axle firmly to the spring. If a worn or damaged plate is the cause, this replaces it. Package quantity is one; the listed applications use one per the catalog — confirm how many your truck needs. Interchange: Manufacturer part number SKA01386.
What does this U-bolt plate do?
It seats between the U-bolts and the axle, letting the U-bolts clamp the axle housing firmly against the leaf spring pack so the axle stays located and secured to the spring.
