33ins wheel spacing

[routemaster]

If I now have less than 33ins wheel spacing would it be the spring flatened out?

I had the same issue. My tires were so close I could not get 2 fingers between the tires. It came factory that way. I recently replaced my springs from 3000lb. to 3300lb. springs. The 3000 lb. ones were 25 inches I bought the 3300 lb. springs and they were 24 1/2 inches. I also added the larger equa flex center equalizer and I have a little larger distance between my wheels.I can get almost 3 fingers between them. Rides so much better now.

It does look like the front left spring is flat....I would say too heavy of load. Or too much nose down angle.

Your equaflex loos a little more compressed, and looking across in the 1st picture, those springs look pretty flat. What do you weigh on the trailer axles.

This is what they looked new.

I just bought new Samson tires.

See how close the shackles are to hanger.
