I think depending on the situation and the orientation of the tires/trailer all of the hangers are subject to some very intense stress. Visiting with MorRyde and Performance Trailer Braking prior to the installation of my new suspension they indicated the same thing. I do remember visiting with Mike? at PTB he said if I only did one there was a particular set to put the brace on but I don't remember which one. In the scenarios I had seen personally it appeared to me that any of them could be in a wacky situation. That being the case, IMO it only made sense to do all of them.

I don't think doing all 3 is out of the question the more (ryde) I look at these.
I'll have to figure out if I can move my spare tire hanger over about a foot. It's in the way of being able to do the front one.

A rear axle spring hanger after <3000 miles.
I put X-Factors at all three positions. After 20k miles, no more bent hangers.

I've been reading all the Keystone, Forest River, Grand Design and Jayco forums for over 5 years and the vast majority of complaints of bent or detached spring hangers are the rear hangers.

Yea, from what I've researched....
Single axle...rear hanger minimum or both for best
Dual axle...center minimum and add rear for better....all 3 for best

Didn't pay any attention to the triple axle
