Expert Reply:

When using trailer suspension hanger kit # AP216-H238 with spring E5115, # e39SR, the distance from the center of the front hanger to the center of the middle hanger AND the distance from the center of the middle hanger to the center of the rear hanger are both 31 inches.

Measurements for hanger kits are approximate and it is recommended to mock up the suspension to get the proper spacing prior to permanent installation.
