Question:

Hello, On a tandem set up with 1-3/4 inch springs at 26-1/2 inch-o/c spring eyes and a 7-3/4 inch equalizer, using 2-1/2 inch shackles, what is the spacing to be from the end hangers to center hanger?

You will want to space your hangers 30-3/4" on center from front to center and center to rear. Your setup is similar to our Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APT5. I have linked our article below for determining proper trailer axle position if you need help verify the correct placement for both axles to ensure you have enough tongue weight.
