Recommended Tandem Axle Hangers and Bolt Kit For 3,500LB Axles On Boat Trailer
Question:
I am starting from scratch on my tandem axle boat trailer. Going to be installing new hangers, shackles, leaf springs and 3500 lb. axles. Looking for the recommended hangers to use with the LC696740 and SP-212275 springs. One picture I looked at showed all three hangers to be the same height and another one showed the center hanger to be shorter than the outer ones. Thanks

Expert Reply:
I recommend using the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hangers # H248 for your boat trailer. The center hanger is slightly taller by 3/8" which will work well as the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 pivots on the hanger.
The Lippert AP Kit # LC52SV contains the wet bolts and shackles you will need. And I recommend replacing the nylon bushings that are included with the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e54SR with Bronze Bushings # K71-291-00.
