Can Trailer Suspension Hangers Be Bolted on
Updated 08/31/2012 | Published 08/29/2012
Question:
I see holes in the rear hangers already. I just need to drill 2 holes on each of the front hanger. Would that work? Or not recommended?

You will want to weld the hangers of the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APS1. The holes you see are not designed to have bolts run through them. If you did run bolts they would most likely interfere with the spring and how it would sit on the hanger.
I would recommend you have a qualified welder do this for you.
