OK, I have done some more research and searching and I am leaning towards replacing the springs. Since the gross weight of the loaded fiver is 9050 lbs, I have found 2500 lb capacity springs (26" x 1.75", 5-leaf). Is there a specific grade of spring metal I should look for? I see "wet" shackle bolts advertised that come equipped with a grease zerk, as well as bushings made from different kinds of material. Is there a shackle, bolt or bushing that are better than others?
