Placement of the axles depends on several factors and there is a formula that you can follow to determine the best placement of the axles. Take a look at the picture I have included which explains how to determine where axles should be placed. Once you have the axle locations determined you can look at what hanger kit will work best for you. I have included a link to the options for you.
