Third set of leaf springs

When visiting the axel factory I asked what the difference was between the 5200# and 6000# axels and was told "the springs" bearings and all else is the same. As a result I replaced my 5200# springs with 6000# springs from etrailer.com. At the same time I added the TrueTrack kit, after several years and thousands of miles all is well.

Pretty easy to add a leaf. You can do that in your driveway in about 15 minutes per side.

I plan on installing heavier springs some day. I only have about 1000# of CC left and will move up to 6K springs if I detect any sag.
I have found no down side to doing so as long as the axles themselves are up to it.

Go to www.rv-dreams.com look through the blog for the work they had done to change out to a Mor Ryde suspension on their 5th wheel. It was done a few years ago and they have been happy with it.

I replaced my 6000lb springs with 8000lb sets when one spring broke after 20 years. You obviously need stronger springs or reduce the weight in your trailer.

Did you replace them because they broke, because they flattened out, or some other reason?

Are you replacing the springs with identical sets? Sounds like you need to get with a different trailer shop, one that will install the correct springs to carry the trailer's weight.

When my 5200 lb springs failed on my 2 year old FW, I replaced them with 6000 lb springs they have 1 more leaf. it is on a 5200 lb axle it only been 2 months so have to wait and see if it helps
