OK, so I have posted here before about this. It's the heavy side of the trailer. The one with the kitchen slide, fridge, outdoor kitchen, TV and fireplace and outside TV. Springs on that side are sagging 1" more than the other.Trailer is a 2015 32rlss cruiser viewfinder signature. Took it to a shop to have some extended warranty work done including replacement of the springs under that warranty. They just called and said that the springs are acting as they should under the heavier weight of that side. Said the warranty would not over replacement. Should I replace all four leaf springs with the next size up? Will that make it ride level or will it still sit lower on that side? Is it a safety concern in that that trailer will behave negatively with it leaning? Or am I being overly anal on this and should I just leave it be?

I would take it to a spring shop and have them adjust (by adding a leaf) the heavier side. Or just ask them what to do and install it yourself!If you put new springs in both sides, it will still sit lower on the heavy side but will sit higher overall.

First thing to do would be to go to a scale and get side to side weights and then decide from there. I'd also check to see what the load capacity rating of the tires is and how much reserve capacity there is. I've seen TTs that have tires and axles loaded to their max. rating before taking side to side weights into account. Do you notice much bounce in the rear of the TT. We have a TT with stronger than stock/OEM springs, axles, frame and tires and it is a great improvement and bounce is substantially reduced.

I upgraded tries one load size and WNET with Carlisle HD so I should be good there. Don't notice allot of bounce, but it's my first camper.How do I get side to side weights at the scale?

My thoughts: No you are not being "anal" In my estimation that should have been covered under you extended warrantee. It definitely is a safety hazard. Your tires on that side have more weight on them and they will wear out sooner. Your trailer will want to pull to that side. - Not good ! I wouldn't want to be towing that trailer any distancejack L

Mine leans a little with the kitchen and bedroom slides out on the left side, I just put boards under the wheels to level it out.My motorhome used to do that also with the full-wall slide; leveling fixed that too.
