While I am unable to determine the exact size hangers your 2009 Keystone Raptor 3812TS has, it does appear the Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APTT5 has all the parts you will need. This kit includes 3-1/4" hangers measured from the frame to the center of the mounting hole. If you have a different height hanger please let me know and I will find you the correct height hangers. And if you would like to upgrade to a cushioned equalizer like the Dexter E-Z Flex # K71-657-00 I can then create a list of all the different parts you will need to customize your suspension.

The spring hanger placement is going to be determined by your axle spacing. For example, if your axles are spaced 33 inches apart, as shown in the attached diagram, a 7K axle slipper spring, like #e74SR, requires a distance of 28-1/2 inches between…
