- Spacing Between Hangers With Slipper Springs for 8,000 lb Axles and Hanger KitI checked for you and when installing the 7-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Hook End for 8,000-lb Trailer Axles # SP-285275 with the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 12" Long Equalizers # APT6SE the distance between the front and center hangers will be 28-1/2", the distance between the center and rear hangers will be 29-1/2", the distance between the U-bolts will be 33" and distance between the center of the axle and trailer frame will be 4-1/2". I made a diagram for you...

- How Are Slipper Springs Attached to Equalizer and Hangers The slipper spring hook of a slipper spring like part # SP-160275 attaches to the equalizer and the eye of the spring attaches to the hangers of Tandem-Axle trailer hanger kit part # APT6SE. I have attached a diagram of how slipper springs are setup. I have also attached a very helpful article that explains slipper spring setups.

- Can Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit APT6SE Replace 11-1/4 inch EqualizerAre your hangers attached to angle-iron beams that run from side to side on your trailer? That's a pretty unique setup if so. It almost looks like the front one is bent? The equalizer of the kit part # APT6SE that you referenced would work well to replace what you currently have though. This kit does not need bushings provided separately as they are not needed.

- How to Determine Axle Spacing on a 5,000 lb Tandem Axle TrailerThe exact axle spacing will depend on the hanger kit and leaf springs you are using. For example, for a trailer with two 5,000 lb axles, we recommend using hanger kit, # APT6SE, and 4-Leaf Slipper Springs for 5,000 lb Axles, # SP-231275. The spring length and equalizer length will play a big role in determining axle spacing. The hanger kit comes with a 12 inch long equalizer and the 5,000 lb slipper springs are 24-5/8 inches long. For this combination, the distance between the front...

- How to Determine Hanger Spacing on 5,200 lb Tandem Axle TrailerFor this combination, the distance between the front hanger and the center hanger should be 32 inches on center. The distance between the center hanger and the rear hanger will be 32 inches on center. This will put the axles 36-3/4 inches apart on center and the center of the axle will be 4-1/2 inches below the trailer frame. Take a look at the image I made for you which shows the spacing you will want for your hangers.

- Tandem Axle 2 Inch Slipper Spring Suspension Kit with 13-1/8 Inch Long EqualizersYou will actually just need kit # APT6SE-36 which is the same thing only the equalizers in it are 13-1/8 inches long. The hardware with each is specific to the kits so some of the other parts are different but for 2 inch slipper springs and 13-1/8 inch equalizers kit # APT6SE-36 is the one for you.

- Recommended 8,000 lb Slipper Spring Hanger and Equalizer Kit for 2 Inch SpringsFor your Tandem 8K axles with 2 inch slipper springs, I recommend the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 12" Long Equalizers # APT6SE. The hangers are to be welded to your trailer frame and the holes on the top of the hangers are for spot welds not bolts. This kit comes with the hardware needed.
view full answer... - Axle Spacing When Using Slipper Spring Equalizer Kit # APT6SE with 26 inch Long Leaf SpringsBased on your leaf spring length the axle spacing you'd have with the hanger kit part # APT6SE would be right at 33 inches. This kit is designed for use with 9/16 inch bolts like the # 166079 and we would not recommend drilling out the kit to fit a wider bolt.
view full answer... - Thickness of the Equalizer in the Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APTT6SEI went and pulled the Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APT6SE from our warehouse to measure the thickness of the equalizer in the kit and found it to be 1/4 inch thick. The equalizer is made by the company Redline.
view full answer... - Which Trailer Suspension Hanger Kit Do I Need For 27" Long x 2" Wide Slipper Spring On 6000-lb AxleTo mount your 27" long slipper springs # SP-160275 you'll need to choose between a kit for single axle trailers or a tandem axle trailer. If you have a single axle trailer you'll want to use the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 3-3/4" Tall Front # APS6SE. If you have a tandem axle trailer you'll want to use the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 12" Long Equalizers # APT6SE. Since these kits do not come with the mounting bolts to secure the...
view full answer... - Tandem Axle Hanger Kit for 2 inch Wide Slipper SpringsYes, you can mount two 6,000 lb capacity axles that use slipper springs in tandem on your trailer. What you'll need is a tandem axle slipper spring hanger kit like the part # APT6SE which is designed for 2 inch wide springs like what you have. What equalizers do is prevents any of your axles from ever carrying the full weight of the trailer at any time like over a bump. The weight is always "equalized" between the two axles.
view full answer... - Slipper Spring Hanger Positioning for 7,000 lb Tandem AxleThe spring hanger placement is going to be determined by your axle spacing. For example, if your axles are spaced 33 inches apart, as shown in the attached diagram, a 7K axle slipper spring, like # SP-232275, requires a distance of 28-1/2 inches between the front and center hangers and 29-1/2 inches between the center and rear hangers, when using our Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs with 12" Long Equalizers, # APT6SE. I'm not sure exactly where you measured the 26-3/4...

- Hanger Spacing Dimensions for Installing E5115 Slipper Springs on Tandem Axle TrailerI was able to find more info on your slipper spring. Looks like you have a Dexter 5115 slipper spring that is 27-1/2 inches long and has a 4k capacity. I attached a picture that has all of the hanger spacing dimensions needed when installing this spring with a hanger kit that uses 12 inch equalizers. The hanger kit you most likely have is the part # APT6SE.

- Recommended Triple or Quad Axle Suspension for Trailer BuildSince you are building a trailer I first want to state that using quad axles isn't ideal. It will cause tire scrub as there becomes too broad an axle base for the trailer to track as nicely. That is why most trailers will use tandem or triple axles as needed for load capacity. If you just want to add the 4th axle for overbuild reasons it will bite you as you will need to replace tires more often. Most of the professional semi flat bed trailers that have the quad axles are for transporting...

- Hanger Spacing when Using 12 Inch Long Slipper Spring Equalizer E4541-ZIt really depends on the springs used. Take a look at the picture I have included that shows hanger spacing based on several different springs. This will be a good guide to reference when mocking up the suspension on your trailer. This is also found on suspension kit page for # APT6SE.

- Recommended Hangers for Slipper Spring SuspensionThe 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End for 4,300-lb Trailer Axles - 26-1/4" Long # SP-264275 is a 1-3/4 inch wide spring, so I recommend using the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 1-3/4" Slipper Springs # APS3SE for these springs if you have a single axle trailer. If you have a tandem axle trailer, you will want to move to 2 inch wide springs like # SP-231275 and use a kit like # APT6SE.
