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.
Just replaced my leaf springs with next size heavier, and installed Dexter shackle and wet bolt kit along with the Dexter equa-flex equalizers. About a 4-5 hr job for one person, better and easier if you have help. Make sure you replace all the u-bolts also! In my opinion its also safer to have FW hooked to your truck while you do the work, then you only have to have one jack point and its much safer knowing the RVs not going to move.
