Taking it in on Tuesday to have major welding and reinforcement done all around. Fortunately a very good friend is a commercial welder and trailer builder. I'll post some repair pictures when it's done. I'm going to not only fix it but also put some major angle iron on the hangers to keep any side pressures well braced. If I'd only looked at the outside of the hangers I might have missed it all until I was well down the road. Fortunately I slid all the way underneath. It's a heavy trailer but these hangers are quarter inch steel. I don't know how I did it or when. It has to be in the last year because I had all new wet bolts put in last spring.
