There are no written instructions for trailer suspension hanger kits. On kit # APT5 all of the hangers are the same size so you won't have to worry about which is front, middle, or rear. the hangers get welded to the bottom of the trailer frame. this should be performed by a qualified welder.
the front leaf spring will bolt to the front hanger without using any shackle straps. The equalizers will bolt to the center hanger. The back end of the front spring will attach to the equalizer using the shackle straps. The front end of the rear spring will also attach to the equalizer via the shackle straps. And the back of the rear spring will be attached directly to the rear hanger.
I have included a couple of videos that should as well.
