Can Dexter E-Z Flex Equalizer Work With Angled Center Hanger W/O Interference?

Question:

My Toy hauler hangers have two sets of holes upper and lower and one side of the hanger is angled. The two end hangers are no problem and have plenty of clearance, but my question is with the center hanger. Can I use this Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit on the upper holes per the pictures I included? I am not sure how much articulation happens with these type of suspensions. I am wondering if the shackle will hit the center hanger on the angled side as it moves. And if the equalizer can go up inside the bracket - how wide is it? The hangers are 1 3/4 wide on the inside.

The Dexter E-Z Flex Equalizers # K71-652-00 you were looking at are right at 1-3/4" wide, but based on the picture you provided you will more than likely not be able to use them in the upper hole of your center hanger as the shackles will likely contact the angled section of the hanger as the suspension moves.

You can use the lower hole as you currently are using, or you can remove the center hanger and have the Front/Center/Rear Hanger for Double-Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Tall - 9/16" Bolt Hole # 28-5 welded in its place which will be very close to the same as the measurement of the upper hole on your current bracket.

I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
