Any suggestions for beefing up my suspension? My 5th weiighs 17000lbs. I keep breaking the shakels holding my leaf springs. I fave two axles and I think adding a third would be monumental. Thanks

I mentioned the wrong part. I am minus the part at the other end of the spring that is bolted to thr bracket attached to the frame. I must have hit a big pot hole and this part snapped off. All I have left is the bracket. On my unit this is a yellow square part.
