Can Hangers of Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APS1 Attach to 2 inch Trailer Frame

Question

Question:

Hello! A question regarding Item #APS1. Im building a custom trailer frame and this item is the hanger kit I intend to use. But I am wanting to know how wide the hanger brackets are. I will be welding them to a 2inch square steel frame. Will the fit on this frame or are the brackets wider than 2? Thank you

The width of the hangers that come with the # APS1 is 2-1/8 inches. These would easily be able to attach to the bottom of a 2 inch wide trailer frame.
