In the installation manual, Andersen provides a "fix" against slippage:
OPTIONAL FRAME BRACKET INSTALLATION
(for both Regular and C-Channel frames)
Using the services of a certified welder, you can add a 2" weld along the lower back side of both outside frame brackets
(on the same side the spring is on). This will give you a very secure installation of the frame brackets without the need for
set screws. Before welding you will need to grind the paint off of the area to be welded.
NOTE: You do not need to weld the inside frame
brackets. Should you decide to sell your trailer later,
the weld could be easily removed by prying the
bracket away and grinding off the leftover weld.
