Can Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit APT6SE Replace 11-1/4 inch Equalizer

Question

Question:

I need to get a new hanger kit for our trailer, the center hanger currently is 11 1/4 inches long- would your 12 inch kit work? My tandem axle springs are 26 inches each? Also it looks like I need to purchase 9/16 nylon bushings separate from the kit- is that correct?

Expert Reply:

Are your hangers attached to angle-iron beams that run from side to side on your trailer? That's a pretty unique setup if so. It almost looks like the front one is bent? The equalizer of the kit part # APT6SE that you referenced would work well to replace what you currently have though. This kit does not need bushings provided separately as they are not needed.

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…
