I had to replace my axels last year due to a bent rear axel caused by striking a bridge joint on I95. Only bent the left side though. Axels and springs only rated for 7,000 lbs. with Trailer GVWR 72,000 Lbs. because they subtract hitch weight when they calculate suspension requirements to keep costs down. My Trailer is a 2011 Passport 2910BH and weighed 6,900 lbs. on the scale loaded to go camping. Not over weight but very close to being maxed out. I replaced the sub par suspension with 5200 lb. axels and 2500 lb. springs. Rides and tows better and the front axel doesn't look like it's going to fold up underneath the camper when I make a turn. This was an expensive lesson learned. I will certainly be looking at what's underneath the next camper as well as what's inside before I buy the next one. Also Dexter was no help as I was 1 month out of warrantee.
