Question:

I purchased 2 new 8k axles and slipper springs. Springs are 2 inches wide. The prior set up was 7k axles with spring eyes on both ends. What kit do I need to hang the springs to the frame?

For 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.
