Leaf Spring & Axle Dilemma

Your trailer GVWR is 7000#.....3500# axles

Since the OP's KZ Spree 321BHS-LX is a 2010 model it's GVWR should actually be 7900 lbs ... 2009 and earlier models had a GVWR of just 7000 lbs and since the tires were the same across the Spree model lineup the difference lay in the axles & springs. As a former 2008 KZ Spree 240BH-LX owner I can tell you there was a lot of consternation over this issue at the time by owners of larger Spree models when they discovered their rigs were wearing the exact same tires, axles, and spring sets as my much shorter / lighter 240 ... great for me, not so good for them, including a good friend of mine who owned one of these affected 321BHS models. It took several years from the introduction of the Spree line in 2007 for KZ to finally address this issue with the introduction of the 2010 MY lineup so it just may be that the OP's particular 321BHS may have been produced right at the end of the 2009 production year but labeled as a 2010, explaining why it could be wearing a lighter suspension set than units produced later on.

To the OP - I have a set of KZ Spree brochures from 2007 to 2012 in .pdf format so if you'd like to compare various Spree specs from these years PM with an addy that will accept attachments and I'll forward them to you. :)
