I've just gotten used to both the ramp and steps...no big deal. If it bothered me, I could put a stool under the steps, but even the kids don't mind. And my AC is at 13'6".
Are you running bump stops since the axle flip ?
No...IIRC there were none stock either, but not positive. Did you pull the trigger on the flip yet?
I don't have bumpstops now but the springs cannot invert right now either. The axle tube would hit the frame.
I have seen guys invert springs on off-road crawlers without running bumpstops after going spring over. I am a total newbie on the campers so didn't know if we needed bumpstops or not.
I have an appointment on Monday morning. Local place said it would cost $300+parts and would have it done the same day.
I don't understand how if you are lifting the camper by going spring OVER, the axle tube would hit the frame. It is the closest in a spring under configuration.
It wouldn't but the springs could over travel and break/bend something pretty easily.
that's what I am wondering about....
sitting stock (springs under axle) it doesn't look like they can get beyond flat (and invert) due to the axle tube hitting the frame.
Right now I have 3.5"-4" of travel before the axle tube will hit the frame. Just wondering if I should run some bumpstops to keep the springs from going beyond flat and bending, after I flip the axle.
I was just wondering if anyone else is running bumpstops, on a camper, or if this is a non-issue all together.
