Posted this in another thread, but no reply, tried the search to no avail.
I just purchased an 02 Explorer. 132k. (Super clean and cheap!) I'm looking to pull an 27' airstream with a dry wt. under 4600 lbs and tongue weight is 500.
The rear springs look original, not broken yet, and one rear strut is leaking. I'd like to put in something heavier duty than stock, even though I'm within the load range of the stock equipment. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find stronger springs? I'd rather replace with something heavier duty now rather than later. I'm picking the trailer up in a couple of weeks. It's in WV and I'm in WI, so I need to have this up to snuff!
I would like to upgrade my rear springs, they aren't broken...yet. I want to keep from bottoming out and keep the vehicle as level as possible.
I will be using a weight distributing hitch. I would sure like some sort of air shock, or maybe i'll have to get spring spacers. Any comments on the spacers?
