I spoke with my contact at Redline and he informed me that the weight capacity of the Front/Center/Rear Hanger for Double-Eye Springs - 4-1/4 inch Tall - 9/16 inch Bolt Hole, part # E4139, is 7,000 lbs.

I went out to our warehouse to measure the thickness of the metal on the # E4139 and it came out to be 3/16 inches thick.

I have also included a link below to a trailer suspension review page that you might find informative also.

Answer 10

Well shackle length is mainly based on the height difference between the front and rear hangers. The rear hanger normally doesn't hang as low as the front so that the shackle can offset the difference and add the ability to move. What is the…
