Question on changing leaf springs on 5'er

Hi,

I will be changing out the flat leaf springs on my 2012 5th wheel on all 4 wheels. Was wondering if there is any advantage to doing it by axle (i.e. both wheels on one axle, then both on other) vs. just doing one side at a time (both wheels on one side, then the other). 2nd way would reduce some of the setup time I guess.

Thanks in advance!

    I put my entire trailer up on jack stands and did one side at a time. Seemed easier since I was replacing the equalizers etc that connect to both axles. A day to lift, day for each side then down made for three weekends.

    Mine was out of alignment due to sagging springs so once replaced all was good.


    Sagging leaf springs do not change the so called alignment on a trailer..... Unless one is sagging more than the others.
