The height measurement of the hangers in the Redline Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit, part # APTT3, is from the top of the hanger to the center of the bolt hole.

The 1-1/2 inch tall hanger is the Redline Front/Rear Hanger for Double-Eye Springs, part # 115917 and the 2-1/2 inch tall hanger is the Redline Center Hanger for Double-Eye Springs, part # 115918.

I am including a picture of the hanger and it shows where the dimension is measured.

Spread axle trailers are pretty hard on tires when you are turning since the front tires will scrub and wear out quickly, also they are much harder to back up and are harder on suspension components. Spreads do have a little more flexibility with…
