• How To Mount Redline Rear Hanger # 30-20 On A Trailer
  On the Redline Rear Hanger, part # 30-20, the hanger has top stamped into one of the sides of the hanger. The hanger is welded to the trailer with the side marked top, facing the outside of the trailer with the word top showing. I am including a picture of the hangar that shows the top marking and how it is positioned on the trailer.

• How is the 30-20 Hanger Designed For Mounting On Its Side and Not Facing Down
  The hanger part # 30-20 is an unusual hanger in that it is recommended you attach the side of it to the trailer frame unlike most that use the other side and face "down". It is also unusual in that it has a bushing that comes with it and that the straps also attach to the outside of it. If you look at the hole of the hanger you can see that it isn't centered from top to bottom. Hangers that normally install facing down have the mounting hole centered there. I attached a picture that shows...

• Outer Diameter of Bushing on Suspension Hanger Part # 30-20
  The bushing on the Rear Single Axle Trailer Suspension Hanger is welded in place, and is not available separately. I walked out to our warehouse and pulled one of the hangers off the shelf. The outer diameter of the bushing is .76 of an inch as measured by a digital caliper.

• How Does the Rear Hanger Get Welded to the Trailer Frame
  On the Redline Rear Hanger, part # 30-20, which is the rear hanger included with kit # APS1, it is welded to the trailer with the side marked top, facing the outside of the trailer with the word top showing. So the U-shape part is what gets welded to the frame, on the flat part. I included a picture of the hangar that shows the top marking and how it is positioned on the trailer.

• Spring Hanger Dimension Recommendations for Installing a e34SR Leaf Spring
  If your current springs are like the # e34SR which is 25-1/4 inches from eye to eye the correct measurement to use for the hanger spacing is 24-7/8 inches. At one point 25-3/4 inches was recommended, but we found that 24-7/8 inches was a much better dimension to use as it made the shackle strap face the correct direction. The # 30-20 should work well as a rear hanger. Going with longer shackles would move the axle closer to the trailer frame so that may not be an ideal solution for you....

• Why Dont Trailer Hangers Come with Bushings.
  The # 30-20 hanger is a unique hanger as it comes with it's own bushing that has an inner diameter of 9/16 inches and installs in a different orientation than most. Like Victoria said, the reason most standard style hangers do not come with bushings is because the bushings are on the spring side of the equation. While what you said is true about wear with dissimilar materials, the reality is that hangers don't wear out at a fast enough rate to warrant a different approach. We rarely hear...

• Using Wet or Dry Shackle Bolts in Rear Leaf Spring Hanger of Single Axle Trailer
  You can certainly use the 30-20 spring hanger with the # 166081 bolts, or you can use the wet bolts like part # 126B2. The bolt features a grease zerk that would allow you to grease the inside of the bushing. Using the wet bolt would probably make the suspension a bit quieter as well as helping the component to last longer.

• Does Bushing In Redline Rear Spring Hanger # 30-20 Come Out to Allow Spring Installation
  I pulled a sample of the Redline Rear Spring Hanger # 30-20 to check its construction for you. The included steel bushing is NOT welded into place, just fitted by tension, but it does NOT need to be removed to install a double eye spring. The bushing's hole takes a 9/16-inch shackle bolt like # 126B2. The shackle bolt secures the two shackle straps, like # 115052, on the OUTSIDES of the hanger. The other ends of the straps then hold the spring's eye with another bolt.

• Hangers to Use with Leaf Spring e54SR
  The spring you ordered # e54SR would work well with the hangers # 115917 and # 30-20 with shackle straps # TRSL350. These parts are very similar to what comes with the # APS1 which is what is recommended with the springs you ordered. Only thing else you might need is the shackle bolt part # 166081. The distance between the hangers would need to be 24-7/8 inches.

• Replacement Leaf Springs for a Boat Trailer Rated for 3,740 Pounds Gross Trailer Weight
  The double-eye spring we have that is closest to the measurements you have provided is # e27SR. It measures 26 inches eye center to eye center, is 3-3/4 inches from the top center of the stack to the centerline of the eyes, and has 6 leaves. The spring has a capacity of 2,250 pounds. If you can tell me the center to center distance between the hangers then that can help determine the right replacement spring, too. This spring uses 9/16 inch bolts such as # 166081. The hanger that you...

• Differences in the Redline Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kits, # APS1, #APS2, and # APS3
  The APS1, APS2, and APS3 are all suspension kits for single-axle trailers with 1-3/4-inch double-eye springs. They are designed for use on trailers with single, 2,000-lb to 7,000-lb axles. The difference in the kits are in the rear hangers and the shackle straps. The Redline Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit, part # APS1, uses the Redline Rear Hanger, part # 30-20, which uses a steel bushing and is .91 inches tall. The shackle straps are the Shackle Strap, part # TRSL313, which are 3-1/8...
