Thank you very much John for all that info. and detail. Lots of thinking and reading and things to mull over and digest.
I was hoping to have heard from the dealer in the past two days, but nothing yet. Since the GVWR is not that high compared to what the frame could potentially carry, maybe the A-frame height will 6" max. in height. I may have to just wait and see what arrives but if all goes well judging what what you've outlined, I should be fine.
When I eventually get my hands on the TT, I will post a pic and comments.
The thread on what you did for tying the spring hangers together is interesting along with what you did for the shocks. I dropped by the frame shop yesterday to talk about how to install shock mounts. It looks like the lower mount will be a plate sandwiched between the springs and axle. (We have over-slung axles). The upper mount can't be higher than the lower flange because of the coroplast on one side and lack of clearance on the other. When I get the Dexter EZ-flex kit installed, I will probably get them to add the shock mounts and something to attach cross-members to.
