Hey Roy! To mount 25-1/4" long springs like item # e57SR, you will want to space the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit item # APT8 29" - 30" apart. With the equalizer being 7-3/4" and the shackle straps measuring 2-5/8" you'll definitely want to mock this up on the ground before installing it.
I have linked a faq below that has quite a few specific details about setting up a tandem axle suspension system and what to look out for. I recommend taking a look at. If you have any additional questions feel free to reach out in the comment box below.

Hey Roy, how did your setup go with the APT8 hanger kit and the 25-1/4" springs? Were you able to get the spacing right after mocking it up on the ground? Your update could make it easier for the next person working on a similar trailer.
