Question:

AP216-H238 hanger kit with equalizer e46SR springs K71-385-00 over under Kit Hellos, I’m trying to figure out where these are supposed to be mounted. I purchased the kit from this websiteast week thinking it would come with some sort of general guidelines, like rear hanger this far from center and this far from front, so i know where to tac them to test placement on trailer. Is there a formula or a spec sheet to go off of for this hanger set up? Thanks And also will this over under kit work work with these slipper springs?

Expert Reply:

With 29-1/2 inch leaf springs like the # e46SR that you referenced the axle spacing you'll want to use with the hanger kit part # AP216-H238 would be 35-1/8 inches.

You cannot use the over under kits we offer with slipper springs.
