I started my install today, got one side done. 2006 Ragen 5th wheel toy hauler. According to my mechanic who looked this trailer over when I purchased it a little over 2 years ago, this trailer did not have a lot of miles on it. In 2 years I've put about 4000 miles on it. I did the right side today. Nylon bushings - the most front and most rear were in good shape - the bushings in the center were in poor shape but still there. However, the steel parts in the center were pretty worn out, ovaled, etc. Will do the left side tomorrow, will post pictures of worn parts when complete.
Completed the install on the left side the next day. Took about 2 hours, a little faster than the right side.
On both equalizers the center bushing was almost gone and the hole was quite oval'd out, more so towards the center of the trailer. On both sides of the trailer the shackles connecting the leaf spring to the equalizer were oval'd out. The bushing on the leaf springs where they connected to the shackle were also worn through.
Thanks everyone for all the great posts, pictures, suggestions, work arounds - saved my butt with the things I ran into today.
