Features to know about

Built for Steady, Balanced Towing: Complete Hanger Setup for Tandem Axles

Keeping your suspension square and level makes all the difference in how a trailer tracks. This tandem-axle hanger kit is designed for 2" wide slipper springs and includes everything to mount four leaf springs to the frame. With 4-1/4" tall front hangers, 3-1/2" tall center hangers, and 5-1/4" tall rear hangers, each piece lines up the suspension geometry so both axles share the load evenly. It’s a matched system that brings back smooth, predictable towing for trailers with 3,500- to 8,000-lb axles.

Smooth Load Transfer and Travel: 10-1/8" Long Equalizers Keep Movement in Sync

When the road gets rough, equalizers are what let one axle rise while the other stays planted. The 10-1/8" long swan-shaped equalizers in this kit keep your tandem setup working together, reducing bounce and frame stress. Each equalizer mounts on a 7/8" center hole and connects to the springs through 9/16" side holes, giving consistent, quiet motion that helps protect your gear and frame from uneven shocks.

Hardware That Holds Tight: Proper-Sized Bolts and Locknuts for Every Connection

Loose or mismatched hardware can ruin an otherwise solid suspension job. This kit includes the right mix of spring keeper bolts, shackle bolts, equalizer bolts, and locknuts, all sized to lock down the components securely. You get 3-1/4" long x 5/16" diameter spring keeper bolts, 3-1/2" long x 9/16" diameter shackle bolts, and 4-1/2" long x 7/8" diameter wet equalizer bolts with matching locknuts. Each fastener matches the hangers and equalizers precisely, so the suspension moves freely but stays tight over time.

Set the Right Ride Height: Flexible Clearance Options for Your Axles

Different axles and spring shapes need different spacing, and this kit gives you that adjustability. Depending on axle size, the setup achieves 4-3/4", 5", or 5-1/4" clearance between the trailer frame and axle. The included layout table helps you place hangers accurately for the spring type you’re using, making it easier to dial in the right stance and keep both axles level for consistent ground clearance and stable towing.

Poorly packaged and some of the bolts were missing when it arrived. Dew to a hole in the corner of the box.
Otherwise, it is built well and did a good job.

They seem too wide for the springs on my 7,000 axle.

by:

I work trailer daily! Product is well worth the price



by:

Would have given it a 5 star but the package had a large hole in it and was missing 1 bolt and 3 nuts. Not a huge deal but I had to go to the parts store and buy replacements. Maybe better packaging on heavy items would save some trouble. Thanks

  • Spring Hanger Spacing Dimensions for a Tandem Axle Slipper Spring Suspension on a 14,0000 lb Trailer
    The hanger spacing for a tandem axle trailer suspension setup can be determined, but you need to take into account the axle spacing needed for the overall diameter of your wheel and tire combination and the springs you will be using. Lets say that you plan on using 4 of the 5-Leaf Slipper Springs, # e74SR, for 7,000-lb Trailer Axles, and that your wheel and tire combinations are the Karrier ST235/85R16 Wheel and Tire, # AM32764. The AM32764 wheel and tires overall diameter is 31.61 inches,...

  • How to Determine Hanger Spacing on a Tandem Axle Trailer with 6K Axles and Slipper Spring Suspension
    The hanger spacing is going to depend on a few things including the spring measurements and the equalizers being used. But if you were using spring # e67SR the distance between the hangers would be around 29-3/4 inches. However this is using hanger kit # AP202-H202 with 10-1/8 inch equalizers. If you were using kit # AP216-H202 the hanger spacing guideline would be 31-1/2 inches because the equalizers are longer. So you can see that it changes depending on the components being used. Also,...

  • Tandem Axle Version of Triple-Axle Trailer Equalizer Kit for 2" Slipper Springs AP302
    Sounds like you are looking for the # AP202-H202 which is the tandem axle version of the two part number numbers you mentioned.

  • Hangers Needed For Slipper Springs
    First, you will want to make sure you choose hangers that are designed for slipper springs. The width of the hanger should match the width of the leaf spring. You could use the existing bolts, but hangers use different diameter bolts. It will be important to make sure the bolts you plan on using will fit in the hangers and springs. In addition to the 4 shackle bolts, you will also need 2 equalizer bolts and at least 4 spring keeper bolts. Using a kit is the easiest way to make sure...

  • Parts Needed To Switch From Double Eye Leaf Springs To 2 Wide Slipper Springs
    Since you are switching to 2" wide Slipper Springs # e67SR you will need an entire hanger kit like the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # AP202-H202. As your trailer had double eye springs the hangers are only 1-3/4" wide. These slipper springs used with the hanger kit will need the hangers placed 29-3/4" on center and will place the axles 34-1/2" on center. The 10-1/8" equalizers are the shortest we carry for 2" wide slipper springs.
