did you ever get a "build" sheet of your suspension as installed from factory?

nah, never got a build sheet.
I did ask for measurements of a factory triple axle, for reference, a couple of days ago with zero response. It is okay, I will just have to wait and measure one on a lot sometime.
I will post up a new thread with pics once it is done.... no turning back now.

Did anyone order a TV option in the bedroom. I'm shopping for a TV mount and where to place it. Thanks!

Alright, thanks I will scroll back through. I went through all 15 pages but some of them I scrolled though pretty fast just looking for photo's.. lol..

Prices and places were both discussed earlier in the thread...though perhaps both have changed by now.

I just took delivery 4 weeks ago of Eclipse Attutide FL28AKLG
1) before I even get out of the warehouse I found the tires to have different spacing on either side, so the smallest tire chock will not fit (1 3/4") on entry side. so I did some basic measuring and found 3/4" smaller. I can only assume that the tires do not track straight.
2) 90% of the cabinet door screws are stripped out and cannot be tighten, so I will have to get a larger and/or longer screws and replace them all.
3) the pull out pantry slides fell apart this last weekend 8/18/12
leaving the pull out stuck in the opening.
4) skirt around fuel station needs more support. It was either left off or engineering had a bad day
5) power plug cover will not stay closed, just flaps while going down the road. Duct tape works this time.
6) Generator came from factory unhooked would not turn over then found the positive cable to the solnoid was never hooked up.
7) Second time I dumped tanks Black water valve leaked into space between valve and cap, then I took off cap and surprise. I thought maybe it wasn't shut all the way but this is my third TH and this never happened before.

Can't wait to see what else will fall apart on the third trip.
otherwise we like the floorplan and colors.

So GOOD LUCK

Trying to rate leaf springs by the number in the spring pack is a hit or miss way of doing things. If you can find the manufacture of the springs and look at spring charts provided by them might work. A little searching on the net will find 26" springs with 4 leafs rated at 3000lbs, the same chart had 3 leaf springs rated at 3000lb also. These were 1.75 width, which is pretty standard. I also saw 3000lb springs with 5 leafs so it's pretty much a******shoot trying to rate springs that way. I ended up just ordering springs that had a rate as close to axle capacity I could find.

So true. Even measuring the leaf thickness and arch on well used springs is a******shoot. Best to know what OEM it started with (build sheet), then source the needed capacity in the proper length and arch needed. One of most inclusive spring lists around is the one on the Stengel Bros Website.

Yeah, good luck getting the info out of Lippert.... According to Eclipse, Lippert should be able to tell me everything about the frame and axles and springs with just the VIN and model. I am 6 emails back and worth with Lippert giving them different info and they still haven't been able to tell me what the springs are rated at. The last email to them was a picture of the axle tags to prove this thing actually has Lippert axles on it..... I am less than impressed so far.
The only info I have is word of mouth, and this person was told by Lippert the 4 leaf spring packs on the 2006 (same model) was 2200lb springs.... the question becomes is the 4 leaf packs on the 2012 (same model) still a 2200lb spring.

Etrailer has a 1 leaf spring that is rated at 3000lbs, so I understand not being able to rate them by spring pack size but so far that is the only thin I have to go by in comparison.

When comparing Lippert springs to Lippert Springs will a 4 spring pack still be 2200lb springs or does it vary and did it change between the different model years.

It will be interesting if and when I can finally get a solid answer.
Kinda frustrated at this point. Last thing I want to do is buy a set of 3000lb springs and find out Lippert upgrade these 4 leaf packs to be a 3000lb spring already.

Seems like every website has different ratings on the same size (length/leaf count) springs.
