Using Taller Leaf Spring Hangers on 18 ft Utility Trailer
Question:
The front and rear hangers in this kit are 2 1/2 inches. My current front and rear hangers are 1 1/2 inches,can i substitute or will i need to buy everything seperate. can i just use the 2 1/2 inch hangers instead? I have an 18 foot utility trailer that I use for hauling my lawn tractor and other lawn equipment around.

Expert Reply:
You can certainly use the taller hangers if you wish, but keep in mind that using the taller hanger (assuming you are installing the hangers in the same location as the old ones) could increase the deck height of your trailer by a small amount.
