Since you will be replacing your slipper springs with double eye springs you will need to replace the hangers on the trailer along with the springs.

You mentioned your 2022 Raw Max 34' Flatbed trailer has tandem axles I recommend the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hangers # H248 with the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,300-lb Trailer Axles # SP-222275. These springs measure 24-7/8" long, and you will start by test fitting the hangers at 29-1/2" between the front and center hangers, and 29-1/2" between the center and rear hangers. You may need to make slight adjustments to get the suspension setup properly.

You will need to use the shackles included with your Lippert Center Point Air Equalizers # LC1565391.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

Answer 6

The 1-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles #e46SR that you referenced is not considered a one-time use leaf spring and would last a long time. While there isn't an exact mileage or age figure these springs were designed for they were…

Answer 7

The 1-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles #e46SR was designed to be used without bushings so it does not come with any. A mono leaf and a multi leaf pack don't have a performance difference that's notable. They both can and work…

Answer 9

The hanger spacing depends on the number of axles and some other factors including the hanger kit that is used. On a single axle trailer using kit #APS1 the center to center distance from the front to rear hanger is 24-7/8 inches. On a tandem axle…

Mobile home axle components can be hard to find replacement parts for, but if you have leaf springs part #e46SR the part #APT9 would be a great hanger kit to use. The distance on center between the spring hanger bolt holes for dual axle setups, with…

Answer 12

Typical spring deflection is up to 1-1/2 inches when at capacity. So the #e46SR that you referenced should see right at 1-1/2 inches of deflection when it has 3,000 lbs on it. I attached a review video for this spring as well.
