There will be different dimensions between the hangers. From front to back your hangers for that 20-3/8 inch spring like # e84SR will be 24-3/4 on center then 29 inches on center and finally 24-3/4 inches on center. This will put each of the 3 axles 28-1/2 inches on center. I've attached a photo to assist.

This is all based on 7-3/4 inch curved equalizers and 2-5/8 inch long shackle straps. These are found in the Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Front/Rear/Center # APTT5.
