We can make sure that we send that missing bolt out to you if you need it. Customer Service will be in touch.

Parts are great quality I deducted 2 stars because they were just thrown in a cardboard box. The hardware was not in a bag and was all loose. Due to the weight of the box, it was busted open upon delivery and was missing the cotter keys and 2 nuts. If the hardware was put in a bag to keep it contained this would be 5 stars.

  • Tandem Axle 2 Inch Slipper Spring Suspension Kit with 13-1/8 Inch Long Equalizers
    You will actually just need kit # APT6SE-36 which is the same thing only the equalizers in it are 13-1/8 inches long. The hardware with each is specific to the kits so some of the other parts are different but for 2 inch slipper springs and 13-1/8 inch equalizers kit # APT6SE-36 is the one for you.

  • Do Hangers Need to be Exact Match to Use APT6SE Kit
    Appreciate those measurements, and you are 100 percent fine using the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 12" Long Equalizers # APT6SE. The very slight variance between your measurements and the hangers are not going to be problematic; the differences are only 1/4", 1/16", and 1/16", respectively. The 12" equalizer length is important to have correctly match, but the differences in hanger height are too miniscule to make an impact so you can absolutely use the Tandem-Axle...

  • Recommended 8,000 lb Slipper Spring Hanger and Equalizer Kit for 2 Inch Springs
    For your Tandem 8K axles with 2 inch slipper springs, I recommend the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 12" Long Equalizers # APT6SE. The hangers are to be welded to your trailer frame and the holes on the top of the hangers are for spot welds not bolts. This kit comes with the hardware needed.

  • Thickness of the Equalizer in the Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APTT6SE
    I went and pulled the Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APT6SE from our warehouse to measure the thickness of the equalizer in the kit and found it to be 1/4 inch thick. The equalizer is made by the company Redline.

  • Why do Tandem and Triple Axle Trailers Use Equalizer Suspension
    This is a really good question but here's why the equalizer setup is needed on non-single axle trailers. Its because when you hit a larger bump or elevation change without an equalizer a single axle at a time is going to have to take on the entire weight of the trailer. Since that will overload that axle in those moments an equalizer is needed to distribute that weight to the other axles. It's a pretty simple but effective design. So in real life what that means is that if you were to get...

  • How to Determine Hanger Spacing on 5,200 lb Tandem Axle Trailer
    For this combination, the distance between the front hanger and the center hanger should be 32 inches on center. The distance between the center hanger and the rear hanger will be 32 inches on center. This will put the axles 36-3/4 inches apart on center and the center of the axle will be 4-1/2 inches below the trailer frame. Take a look at the image I made for you which shows the spacing you will want for your hangers.

  • Can Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit APT6SE Replace 11-1/4 inch Equalizer
    Are your hangers attached to angle-iron beams that run from side to side on your trailer? That's a pretty unique setup if so. It almost looks like the front one is bent? The equalizer of the kit part # APT6SE that you referenced would work well to replace what you currently have though. This kit does not need bushings provided separately as they are not needed.

  • Tandem Axle Hanger Kit for 2 inch Wide Slipper Springs
    Yes, you can mount two 6,000 lb capacity axles that use slipper springs in tandem on your trailer. What you'll need is a tandem axle slipper spring hanger kit like the part # APT6SE which is designed for 2 inch wide springs like what you have. What equalizers do is prevents any of your axles from ever carrying the full weight of the trailer at any time like over a bump. The weight is always "equalized" between the two axles.

  • Slipper Spring Trailer Suspension Hanger Spacing
    There is not a fixed spacing for the hangers in kit # APT6SE-36 since this depends on the length of the particular springs used. The hangers need to be close enough together that the curved ends of the slipper springs properly engage with the bolt or column they rest on. Please refer to the linked image, dimension B, to see this spring dimension. Measure this on your springs to get the approximate distance from the center of the spring eye to the highest point of slipper end.

  • Axle Spacing When Using Slipper Spring Equalizer Kit # APT6SE with 26 inch Long Leaf Springs
    Based on your leaf spring length the axle spacing you'd have with the hanger kit part # APT6SE would be right at 33 inches. This kit is designed for use with 9/16 inch bolts like the # 166079 and we would not recommend drilling out the kit to fit a wider bolt.

  • What Type of Bolt is Used On Slipper End of Slipper Spring Suspensions
    The bolt on the slipper end of a slipper spring suspension is a regular shackle bolt. It basically looks like a regular bolt. This can be seen in the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs # APT6SE. If you're looking for replacement shackle bolts you will need to measure the length and diameter of your current bolts so they match. I have attached a link below to all of our suspension bolts, along with a help article on slipper spring trailer suspension for your reference.

  • Availability of Rear Hanger for 2 inch Wide Slipper Spring and Complete Hanger Kit
    For a rear hanger for a 2 inch wide slipper spring we have the part # 721585 which is 5-1/16 inches tall. Then for a complete kit like you mentioned needing you'd want the part # APT6SE which comes with a 12 inch equalizer.

  • Availability of Leaf Spring Hanger/Equalizer Kit for Springs that are 2 inches Wide

  • How to Determine Axle Spacing on a 5,000 lb Tandem Axle Trailer
    The exact axle spacing will depend on the hanger kit and leaf springs you are using. For example, for a trailer with two 5,000 lb axles, we recommend using hanger kit, # APT6SE, and 4-Leaf Slipper Springs for 5,000 lb Axles, # SP-231275. The spring length and equalizer length will play a big role in determining axle spacing. The hanger kit comes with a 12 inch long equalizer and the 5,000 lb slipper springs are 24-5/8 inches long. For this combination, the distance between the front hanger...

  • Recommended Triple or Quad Axle Suspension for Trailer Build
    Since you are building a trailer I first want to state that using quad axles isn't ideal. It will cause tire scrub as there becomes too broad an axle base for the trailer to track as nicely. That is why most trailers will use tandem or triple axles as needed for load capacity. If you just want to add the 4th axle for overbuild reasons it will bite you as you will need to replace tires more often. Most of the professional semi flat bed trailers that have the quad axles are for transporting...

  • How Are Slipper Springs Attached to Equalizer and Hangers

  • How to Choose Correct Axle Placement for Tandem 7K Axles with Slipper Leaf Springs
    Slipper spring setups, like parts # e74SR and # APT6SE for 7K axles, do have different hanger sizes so what you'll want to do is cut off the older hangers and do some mock-ups of your new system before installing the hangers. Start off by mocking up the center hanger setup about 2/3rds of the way back on your trailer. From there you need to measure your tongue weight and shoot for something in the range of 10 - 15% of the weight of the trailer. If you're outside of that range then you...

  • Mounting Dimensions for Slipper Leaf Spring e74SR and Tandem Hanger Kit APT6SE
    With the 26-5/8 inch long leaf spring part # e74SR you referenced and the hanger kit part # APT6SE you also mentioned the dimensions in the chart you referenced would be correct to use. The distance between the front and center hanger should be 28-1/2 inches, distance between center and rear hanger 29-1/2 inches, and the distance between axle centers 33 inches. This will then put the distance from the trailer frame to the axle center right at 4-1/2 inches.

  • Which Trailer Suspension Hanger Kit Do I Need For 27 Long x 2 Wide Slipper Spring On 6000-lb Axle
    To mount your 27" long slipper springs # e67SR you'll need to choose between a kit for single axle trailers or a tandem axle trailer. If you have a single axle trailer you'll want to use the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 3-3/4" Tall Front # APS6SE. If you have a tandem axle trailer you'll want to use the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 12" Long Equalizers # APT6SE.

    We have one 6,000 lb axle rated slipper spring that is 2 inches wide. For that you would want the part # e67SR that is 27 inches long. The ends of this spring are hooked but do not come all the way back around like a C shape like what it sounds like you have. However, both styles are acceptable and will install in the same way. The tandem axle hanger kit part # APT6SE-36 that you referenced will work with what you have since you said your springs are 2 inches wide. I also attached a link...
