Frame flex is normal even for a 20k-30k equipment trailer with a load on it. Whats not normal is when the frame gets permanently bent from normal use or the spring hangers collapse or bend out of shape are the result of bad engineering and design.
The two main frame rails are not structurally strong enough to resist twisting forces from side scrubbing tires as the trailer is pulled around a corner. There also is a lack of enough cross members and out riggers to stiffen the trailers main frame rails. They will bend.
The spring hangers should not lay over or bend out of shape on any trailer.
IMO you are going to have to work with Lippert till something is resolved hopefully in your favor. They will/may fix your problem but admit nothing.

we have a toy hauler forum. You might ask the mod to move you over there as some one may have the same unit with the same problem and got a solution to their liking. Jim
