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.
