โ˜ž ๐Ÿ‘€ If you are traveling in your #RVlife can throw you a few curves. We recently discovered a tire on the verge of a blow out. While changing the tire we discovered the other Leaf Spring broken. We are very fortunate to have the extra leaf springs to help make the repairs quickly and be back on the road. Take the time and prepare for problems as you travel.

Feel your pain on this one. We bent a equalizer spring hanger. Which included the frame! Just got it out of the shop two days ago. All new springs and CRE3000 equalizers and wet bolts. Put the sumos back on. Lets see how the next 15K miles go!!

Hey Todd - Great Job ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป. You really have to be carefull on the torque specifications for the bolts....wouldn't want to SNAP any bolts driving down the road from over torquing..... (foreshadowing). ๐Ÿ˜‰ This is how we all learn though....through our life's lessons. Important part is that you aren't afraid to give it a go. Even with mess ups here and there, you are saving yourself money, affording to buy tools for future repairs, AND are more knowledgeable of your equipment everytime you break out the socket set. LOVE your content and positivity!

All ways ready? Now Grand Design has this deal where they send you a whole set of tires for free...just ask, I got mine. Dexter will send you a complete set of new axles which has new pads, bearings, axles, drums, etc. We got ours, my wife and I installed them on or Saint Augustine lawn using a plywood base and 4 bottle jacks. Used 2 furniture movers to cradle the drums by adding a extra piece of wood. Grand Design has been there for our four years in the Imagine 24mpr toy hauler. Good luck with the rest of your under carriage. I am impressed!

I am definitely impressed!! And I just love that the 2 of you still find humor in these situations. This is a really great instructional video...not only showing the repair, but also highlighting the other failure points that need to be addressed. When I first started the video I was thinking you two will be there awhile until someone delivers a new leaf spring. And then, there's our boy Todd, coming through like superman (or a boy scout), prepared with 2 extra leaf springs on-hand!! Great job you two!!!

I would toss all 6 $50ea china leaf springs. I no longer worry about the cheap china Dexter or Lippert springs. I installed American made springs with American steel. Never worry about broken springs again. AlCan springs Grand Junction CO. They are 2inch wide rather then 1-1/2inch. They machine the ends down to fit you existing spring hangers. Also the ends are a much larger diameter so a real thick bronze bushing can be installed.

Very lucky in many ways. I too carry 2 spare leaf springs and use sumos. I use the Sailun S637 tire and have had great luck. I lifted our trailer and hauled them in. I also went from the 235/80 to the 235/85 as it added 500lbs more capacity to each tire. Good luck you two.

Well, you certainly would not want this to happen on a long travel day. Thankful that it happened where it did and you discovered it when Sheila needed to stop. I think that was a God thing. And it being a short travel day you have more time to spend on the project and still get to your destination before too late. Every day I pray for yโ€™all safe travels, and the Lord has been so good. This is minor in the whole scheme of things considering things that happened to other people on the same day. Give thanks and keep on keeping on. Love you guys

In truth, replacing leaf springs could /should be done every couple years. The beating they take is enormous. And, like any spring, the more they are exercised the more they degrade. Yes. Carry spares. I do as well. But check with a suspension specialist regarding a recommendation for routine replacement.

Great reminder to those who are on the road a lot! Always check your rig - look at your tires for wear, get on the ground and look underneath. Being broken down on the road is now fun! Thankfully you're safe and it wasn't worse!

Great job. Thatโ€™s where they break. They reverse arch at the ends. Replaced mine after 1 1/2 years and the shop added an extra longer leaf that goes almost under the eyebolts. Basically gives u a 4K axle.
