Expert Reply:
As a general rule, you will want the distance between the hangers on a leaf spring suspension system to be around a 1/2 inch shorter than the length of your leaf springs. This will allow for some movement with the shackle strap.
For example, if you have Double-Eye Springs like # SP-210275 that are 27 inches long, you will want to mount the hangers about 26-1/2 inches apart from each other.
