When using a triple-axle hanger kit like # APTT3 with the 6-Leaf 24-7/8 inch long Double-Eye Springs # e64SR referenced in your question, you will want to have a distance of 29-1/2 inches from the center of the hole in the front hanger to the center of the hole in the center front hanger. From the center of the hole in the center front hanger to the center of the hole in the center rear hanger you are looking at a distance of 34 inches. Then from the center of the hole in the center rear hanger to the center of the hole in the rear hanger the distance should be 29-1/2 inches.

I have attached a diagram to assist.
