I can give you a general estimate but the only way to get it just right is to mock up all the parts to determine the proper locations prior to permanently installing everything.

On a triple axle trailer with 2 inch wide slipper springs the distance from the first and second hangers would be approximately 28-1/2 inches. From the second to third hangers it would be approximately 33 inches. And from the third to fourth hangers it would be approximately 28-1/2 inches. For this set up the center to center distance from axle to axle would be approximately 33 inches. This is also assuming the use of 10-1/8 inch equalizers like what comes with the triple axle hanger kit # AP302-H302.
