Setting Distance Between Front and Rear Hangers of Trailer Suspension
Published 12/30/2021
Question:
I have 2 new 7k axles and center of spring holes is 25inch my equalizer is 6inch center of holes, do I simply add half of my equalizer and space my hangers at 28 so an equal load would have the shackle straps sitting perpendicular to the trailer deck?

Expert Reply:
You will want the equalizer to angle in about 1/2 an inch so you'd need to compensate that by taking one inch off of the distance you mentioned so 27 inched would be correct distance between the hanger bolt centers.
