Hanger Placement on Triple Axle Trailer

Updated 01/03/2017 | Published 12/30/2016

Question:

27-1/4 double eye springs. Currently my hangers are spaced as followed- 32-1/4 from front hanger to equalizer hanger. 37-1/4 from equalizer to equalizer. 32-1/4 from equalizer to rear hanger. Will this work? I believe that it is spaced wider than normal. What would be the pros and cons of leaving this, or if i need to just start over how far do they need to be spaced? Thank you in advance.

What you have is a little long however still may work. It's hard to give you exact numbers sice we don't currently carry any 27-1/4 inch springs. However, I can tell you the measurments that we recommend for 27-1/2 inch springs are 32 inches from front hanger to second, 36-1/2 inches from second to third, and 32 inches from third to fourth. All measurments are center on center.

Your numbers are fairly close but if they are too long it will decrease the amount of travel in the trailer's suspension.
