The correct hanger kit to fit the # e66SR Leaf Springs that will give you the appropriate clearance is the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Front, 1-1/4" Rear # APS4 . This will provide 3-11/16" clearance taking into account the axle diameter and spring pad you mentioned.
