John,
Something else that happened during the install that I found peculiar. I hope I can describe this without pictures. All the pictures of the EZ-Flex unit itself show the shackles attached to the EZ-Flex unit pointing up with the springs.
My trailer originally had the shackle to the front springs pointed up and the shackle to the back spring went down. That is the way the EZ-Flex went on as well but it put the EZ-Flex unit at an odd looking angle. When I started to put weight on the wheels the first side popped both shackles up as all the pictures show.
The other side stayed as it had always been so I jacked it back up and put bottle jacks under both axles and played with the load on each axle and low and behold the back spring shackle settled in the up position. I am wondering if the back spring shackles were never installed properly to start with causing the springs to be in a bind.
I took a short test drive today on some rough concrete on I70 and the difference was very noticeable.
