The correct set of leaf spring hangers have more to do with the leaf springs used than the axle. For a set of leaf spring hangers and leaf springs to use with the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam part # 7685269, I recommend the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit part # APS4 with the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # e48SR.
