The spring will be attached directly to the hanger closest to the front of the trailer. The back of the spring will be connected to an equalizer which will then be attached to a hanger. If the equalizer is 6-1/4 inches long, center to center, and the mounting hole on it is in the center, it will be 3-1/8 inches beyond the center of the rear eye hole.
So, if the spring is 27-1/4 inches from eye center to eye center, add 3-1/8 inches to get 30-3/8. I would then add a maximum of another inch to allow for the shackle links to bring it to 31-3/8 inches. This is the center to center distance for the hangers.
