    That was on after the Heather, Gunnbarrel, and Canning carrying a full load over six weeks. I would get them again if I get a standard chassie.
    So Albert does the chassis have the extra flange/flat to help retain the top of the spring?

    That might rule out air springs for me too.

    The peice of flat did rub, but thats not a problem, it can be bent out a bit or cut off.
    The problem is the box section chassie mod that attaches behind the spring mount/ outrigger. The angled support bracket is a lot closer at the rear compared to the front one. I dont have a pic of it here but i will try to post one tonight or tommorow night.

    As you can see on the rear side, thereis not the 1" clearance reccomended.
    This didnt wear much.... untill I put a piece of plastic there to stop the rubbing
    Love the airbags. Great for the rear camper. When stopped on uneven ground I could just adjust each side to level it up.
