It sounds like you pretty much have a whole new suspension, under a well taken care of trailer! That makes more sense than just buying a whole new rig.
My former FW had a lot of sqeaks and creaks when going slow through the campgounds. I replaced shackles and bushings on it, nothing near your complete overhaul.

Congrats on the upgrades, that should take you into retirement travels!!
