The rest of the story—
Summary-> if you are going to install a Lippert Components Correct Track System check the internal clearance of your spring hangers. The kit is designed for 1 7/8” clearance only.
Since I found the verbal answers to my dilemma unsatisfactory, I filled a written warranty request with the manufacturer, Lippert, for properly fitting spacers for my Lippert frame. The same support person called me back offering to refund the price of the Correct Track kit. When I stated that, no, I really wanted to make it work, he suggested using pipes cut to 2” lengths as spacers saying that the kit originally used pipes instead of rectangular tubing. Apparently using washers wasn’t such a good idea after all. He also said that he had looked at 20 different frames in the factory and had found none that had 2” spring hanger clearance. Apparently I have the only Lippert frame in the world with 2” internal clearance spring hangers.
To solve the problem, however, I found a steel supply dealer who would cut 2x3” tubing into 2” lengths that I could use to replace the 1 7/8” tubing supplied in the kit. I was able to make this work satisfactorily except for one hanger. On one hanger it turned out that I needed a 2 1/16” spacer to keep the spring hanger spread far enough apart to not pinch the equalizer. I am quite satisfied with the final results of raising the trailer 2”. This allowed me to switch to 16” LT tires without clearance problems.
Hello
I am considering adding the Correct Track system to my fifth wheel for the added 2" clearance.
Are you still satisfied with the kit? Have you put many miles on it since installing it?
Thanks
