Parts are great quality I deducted 2 stars because they were just thrown in a cardboard box. The hardware was not in a bag and was all loose. Due to the weight of the box, it was busted open upon delivery and was missing the cotter keys and 2 nuts. If the hardware was put in a bag to keep it contained this would be 5 stars.

Kit looks better than I thought it would be. Will be installing soon.

Products were exactly as advertised, very quick processing and delivery. The detailed product information and pictures is what sets E-trailer apart from other sites. Very easy to determine exactly what I needed without all of the return shipping that is sometimes required from other sites when you order the wrong item by mistake. I wish all sites were this easy to use.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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... - 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.

- 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... - Do Hangers Need to be Exact Match to Use APT6SE KitAppreciate those measurements, and you are 100 percent fine using the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 12" Long Equalizers # APT6SE. The very slight variance between your measurements and the hangers are not going to be problematic; the differences are only 1/4", 1/16", and 1/16", respectively. The 12" equalizer length is important to have correctly match, but the differences in hanger height are too miniscule to make an impact so you can absolutely use the Tandem-Axle...
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... - 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... - Slipper Spring Trailer Suspension Hanger SpacingThere is not a fixed spacing for the hangers in kit # APT6SE-36 since this depends on the length of the particular springs used. The hangers need to be close enough together that the curved ends of the slipper springs properly engage with the bolt or column they rest on. Please refer to the linked image, dimension B, to see this spring dimension. Measure this on your springs to get the approximate distance from the center of the spring eye to the highest point of slipper end.

- Availability of Rear Hanger for 2 inch Wide Slipper Spring and Complete Hanger KitFor a rear hanger for a 2 inch wide slipper spring we have the part # 721585 which is 5-1/16 inches tall. Then for a complete kit like you mentioned needing you'd want the part # APT6SE which comes with a 12 inch equalizer.
view full answer... - Availability of Leaf Spring Hanger/Equalizer Kit for Springs that are 2 inches WideWe have tandem axle slipper spring hanger/equalizer kits like with the part # APT6SE but if the leaf springs are double eye springs we don't have anything based on your width.
view full answer... - 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 hanger...

- How Are Slipper Springs Attached to Equalizer and HangersThe 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.

- What is the Hanger Spacing on the 6-Leaf Slipper Spring # SP-161275?I went ahead and attached a diagram that shows the spacing of the hangers on the 6-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Hook End for 8,000-lb Trailer Axles - 29-1/2" Long # SP-161275. This is the spacing you will use with the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 12" Long Equalizers # APT6SE.

- Mounting Dimensions for Slipper Leaf Spring SP-232275 and Tandem Hanger Kit APT6SEWith the 26-5/8 inch long leaf spring part # SP-232275 you referenced and the hanger kit part # APT6SE you also mentioned the dimensions in the chart you referenced would be correct to use. The distance between the front and center hanger should be 28-1/2 inches, distance between center and rear hanger 29-1/2 inches, and the distance between axle centers 33 inches. This will then put the distance from the trailer frame to the axle center right at 4-1/2 inches.
view full answer... - Hanger/Equalizer Kit that Can be Used with 30-1/2 inch Long Slipper SpringsWe have the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs # APT6SE which can be used with 30-1/2 inch long slipper springs as long as they are 2 inches wide.
view full answer... - 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...

- 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... - Does Tandem Axle Slipper Spring Hanger Kit # APT6SE-36 Work with Springs that are 2 inches WideWe have one 6,000 lb axle rated slipper spring that is 2 inches wide. For that you would want the part # SP-160275 that is 27 inches long. The ends of this spring are hooked but do not come all the way back around like a C shape like what it sounds like you have. However, both styles are acceptable and will install in the same way. The tandem axle hanger kit part # APT6SE-36 that you referenced will work with what you have since you said your springs are 2 inches wide. I also attached...
view full answer... - 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.

- 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.

- 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".

- 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...

- Highest Capacity 1-3/4" Wide Slipper SpringThe highest capacity 1-3/4" wide slipper spring we offer is 3,700 lbs part # SP-040275 which measures 30" long end to end. If you need a higher capacity then you will need to upgrade the hangers and equalizers to accept 2" with a kit like the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs part # APT6SE so you can use the 6-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Hook End for 8,000-lb part # SP-161275.
