Question:
Looking at the APT7 hanger kit. Im trying to find out what the axle clearance would be on a 3 inch 6000lb. axle? Also would this kit allow enough suspension cycle for this axle? Thank you.

Hey J, thanks for reaching out!
The Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APT7 would be cutting it a little close depending on what leaf spring you're using, so I recommend going with the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APT5 instead. It uses the same equalizer, but it comes with taller hangers, so you get a little more clearance.
Do you already have some leaf springs in mind you'll be using, or are you in the market for those as well?
