Yes, the length of the trailer frame will play a part in determining where to position the trailer axles. The axles will need to be placed under the trailer so that 10-15% of the total weight will be on the tongue. I have attached a photo below with the formula you will need to use in order to find out the best spot to place your axles.
In regards to parts needed for the above, I recommend the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs part # APT5 with the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles part # APUBR-8. There is a chart on the product page for the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs that tells you where to place the hangers once you get the axles lined up which will vary based on the length of your leaf springs.
