I have added a link to a help article for you which has the formula you need that allows you to determine exactly where to position your axles on a trailer. Using this formula, based on measurements you'll need to take and the weight of the trailer, will determine where you position the axles.
As for the hanger kit that depends on the size of your axle and your leaf springs. For example, the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs # APT5 is for 2,000-lb to 7,000-lb tandem-axle trailers with 1-3/4" wide double-eye springs and certain leaf springs such as 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long # e57SR.
I have added links to our entire selection of hanger kits and leaf springs, as well as a help article on double-eye leaf spring suspension I recommend taking a look at.
