- N-TroubleExplorerI had a reputable shop do the work... Yeah I really don't know why they set them up as spring-under from the Eclipse factory. I don't know of to many trucks that could tow this trailer level the way it sits unless it was an older 2WD. But not many who buy these things drive 2WD trucks. Most if not all of the other manufacturers have caught on and are going spring-over from the factory these days.
I ended up buying a big 8ft long piece of 4x12 Redwood that I cut into 12"x12" blocks and attached handles to them to use as blocks for the landing gear and rear stab jacks. Without the 4" blocks they are about maxed out to hit the ground. - RambinoExplorer

I hope your axle flip went smoothly. I really think the 28sag was built to have the axles flipped. I like the better towing and being level as well. The DW was more concerned with getting the bottom entry step from almost touching the ground. Not much difference in loading toys either. I was a little concerned with how well the rear stabilizer jacks would work. Seem to work fine.
Enjoy! - N-TroubleExplorerHad a tough time deciding between the Equa-Flex or EZ-Flex but went with recommendation from the shop who installed saying they've had less issues with the Dexter units.
- joebedfordNomad IIII have Dexter EZ Flex on my triaxle with Bridgestone R250s. Great choice!
- eDUBzExplorerNice. Im thinking i need to replace my tires soon. Its going on 4 years soon.

where did you buy your LEDs from?
I checked to see what lamps I needed, then bought a couple different ones from Amazon. If I can post the links, here are the ones I bought for the overhead double-light fixtures: http://www.amazon.com/Cutequeen-54-smd-Lumens-Lights-White/dp/B01AN9N2CU?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
I put a couple of these in, but they are more directional & one already failed: http://www.amazon.com/GRV-24-3528-Super-Bright-White/dp/B00EL37R8U?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
I put one of these in the porch light fixture: http://www.amazon.com/LUYED-Newest-33-smd-perfect-replacement/dp/B017QRTFWI?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
I put these little ones in the puck lights under all the cabinets: http://www.amazon.com/KINGSO-220LM-Bulb-Light-White/dp/B00UAALSY2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
Your RV may take different lamps, but just check to see what's there & keep in mind that LEDs are usually dependent on polarity (if it doesn't work one way, flip it 180* and it should light up).
After all the little upgrades, even with 2 batteries, running the MaxxAir fan at ~50% all day & night + everything else I ran off 12V brought the batteries down to "weak" on the panel by 2 days, so I ran the generator. I failed to run the genny on the end of another 2 days, and by morning the batteries wouldn't run the lights, so I had to break out the Antigravity battery pack & jump the RV batteries to start the Onan. Ran it for an hour & was good to go, but I think it's time to get some solar panels if I want to dry camp. I found I really didn't need to run the genny but for 1 time I wanted to use the microwave, so I'll eventually add more batteries, installed solar panels & a big enough pure sine inverter. - BadhabtExplorer
