Expert Reply:

For your double eye springs that are 25-1/2 inches, it is likely your hangers are 29-1/2 inches apart on center and your springs most likely were originally 25-1/4 inches as they will stretch slightly over time.

For instance if you were to use 25-1/4 inch springs like # e34SR then you could use tandem axle trailer hanger kit # APT5 and use either spacing 29-1/2 inches on center for a good fit.

While the leaf spring part #e46SR only has one pin on it that is all that's needed to secure it to either the u-bolt plate or the axle spring seat. As long as one is there that's all that's needed.
