Hey Charles, with tandem axle suspension hanger kits like the part # H248 it's pretty common that the middle hanger is a different height than the other ones but the front and rear are supposed to be the same height. The reason the center one is a different height is because an equalizer attaches to it and the other hangers have springs that attach directly.

Hey Charles, did you decide to go with the same height for the front and rear hangers, or are you considering a different setup? I'm curious because understanding your choice could help others with similar trailer setups.
