I spent two weekends replacing my springs on our 5th wheel. I was by myself and used a floor jack plus a bottle jack, 4 jack stands plus 2X4s cribbing. I did one spring at a time. I switch from 6,000 to 8,000lb springs and installed the wet bolts plus equiflex setup along with new wheel bearings. Brakes were good so no need to replace.
One weekend per side.
Although a tough project it was really very satisfying to do it and know that I saved the $500 to $1000 install cost I was quoted by various RV repair shops.
The 5th wheel has less wiggle going over bumps and when parked as we walk around inside.
