To mount your 27" long slipper springs # e67SR you'll need to choose between a kit for single axle trailers or a tandem axle trailer. If you have a single axle trailer you'll want to use the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 3-3/4" Tall Front # APS6SE. If you have a tandem axle trailer you'll want to use the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 12" Long Equalizers # APT6SE.

Since these kits do not come with the mounting bolts to secure the springs to the axles, you may also need the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 7" Long U-Bolts # APUBR-8. This kit is for a mounting your springs to a single axle, so for a tandem axle trailer you would need 2 kits.
