There are a couple ways to determine where to place the center equalizer hanger on your trailer.
The best way to find the right location is to find a trailer with the setup already installed and measure the locations of the hangers.
The second way is to use the formula shown on the attached picture. You can adjust the location of the center hangers based on the tongue weight as the formula shows. Since there are so many different possibilities with the type trailers and what they are carrying, I cannot give you a specific location on your trailer for the hangers.
