After incurring a flat tire on our last trip, the technician who replaced the flat with my spare showed me why the tire went flat and mentioned the need to either add "helper springs" or replacing the leaf springs. Has anyone on the forum done this and if so, was it that expensive? I have a double axle 5th wheel with the equa-flex system (2007 Crossroads Cruiser). Appreciate your advice.
Assuming you're talking about your FW, not your truck. If on the FW, and you do replace the springs, make sure to also install a wet bolt kit at the same time. Replaces the plastic bushings with bronze, heavy-duty spring hangars and greaseable spring bolts.
