HWH jack springs

I would like to replace the springs on my HWH jacks. Is HWH the best place to buy, or is there another place that may have a better price?
  • I bought my replacement from my RV dealer who had the proper one. I found it easy to replace them when I used a small bottle jack, hooked up one spring to the plate, put the jack under the other side and eased the spring up to be able to hook it to the fitting.
    at first I thought about using a 2 x 4 as a lever and came up with a much better/easier method.

  • HWH does not manufacture their own springs, but buys them from another vendor, and marks them up before reselling them. However you would need to know the exact diameter of the spring material, it's spring rate, and minimum and maximum spring length to buy them from a spring manufacture.

    So because you probably do not have a way to accurately measure the spring diameter, you are probably best buying them from HWH or your local RV parts supplier.
