Please see attached image. I have noticed this at the beginning of last camping season and I ran it like this for a little over 800 miles since I noticed it. I am due for other maintenance and would like your opinion on whether or not I should add new leaf spring packs to the to-do list.This is on a 2015 Eclipse Attitude 32SAG Toy Hauler w/ Lippert 6,000lb axles. I am not sure what springs to replace them with if I go that route.

Are all the springs showing the same?I would weigh the rig first.I would be looking at complete spring, shackles and link replacementLook on etrailer.com for what packages are available.

Yeah, that looks like it has very little curvature left on it.

Yes I would replace them. Not just that but go up about 500 pounds rating.Or you can just wait until they break.

You are awful close to over loading the 3500 pound springs, if that is what you have.I would be researching something like 4500. At least something a little heavier.Measure the length of your springs between shacklesLippert website doesn't help much on spring replacement.Need to verify what springs you have!

Yeah, those really look to be ready for the scrap heap. Is that a triple axle toyhauler?

Thats what I wanted to hear! haha - Maybe I will forge them into swords for my kids! haha.

This is dual axle trailer. California toy hauler builders are king of leaving roughly 1lb of excess load capacity with builds. Its horrible.

I will look for 4500lb springs. I will look for part numbers stamped on this when I star to tear it apart.

Springs, Brakes, bearings, and tires. Yay!

I just went through that with my 2018 Arctic Fox 25Y. Yours look pretty bad. Figure out what is the stock spring and then upgrade by 250-500 lbs on each spring. The key measurement is the eye to eye measurement when unloaded.
Good luck.

Well.. I am not sure my springs will return to normal enough to measure eye to eye .

Should I just measure the hangers on the trailer frame instead?

Try to get a rough eye to eye. Looking at etrailer, you should be able to use ones that are within a half inch or so. The kit installation "should" give an over-all length.
Measure width of springs
