Question:

With a 26 5/8” 5 leaf slipper spring with a 38” axle spacing for a 7000# axle what hanger and u bolt kit do I need to purchase. Also what diagram do I go by to get the right measurements. If I follow the diagram hanger centers it should by accurate correct. Also is the a drawing that shows what height hanger goes in what position on the frame.

Expert Reply:

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part # HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part # APUBR-8.

I attached the diagram to use to space everything out at. I would recommend putting the center hanger of this kit in the same location as the center hanger on your old suspension hanger configuration.
