Thanks Dave.

Dave, Was your replacement 8K spring 8 leaf or 7 leaf and do you remember the arch size. Thanks Jim

Thanks Rich, I new the axle tubes measured the same, my main concern was the springs. I think the 4 leaf springs are for 6K axles and the 6 leaf are for the 7K axles. The brakes are the same the magnets are stronger on the 7K. I think the black wired magnets are stronger than the white wire...

Thanks for the reply Jon. If I was sure we would be keeping this RV I'd think about the IS, Disc Brake system. But for between $4 - $5 it's not worth it for me. I've decided to go with new 7K axles with 3.5K springs. I can get 7K axles for $650/pair with new hubs, brakes, bearings, springs...

Thanks Rory. That was my thinking. I should have looked at them closer over the years. I would have checked with the factory to see why they put lighter springs on it. I have new equalizers and wet bolts as well as shackle hangers. Just thinking about changing axles and springs.

Yes Dave, With the weight off the trailer I have about the same amount of arch. Slightly under1/2" on both. I was just wondering if I should replace them with 3500# or go with the 3000# like they came from the factory, which kind a surprised me. According to the chart the 3000# eye to eye...

I have a 2010 Bighorn 3670rl and am looking at replacing the leaf springs and axles. I have 7000# Lippert axles and just found out the 4 leaf double eye 25.25" springs from Lippert are 3000# rated. I have always under the assumption they were 3500#. I'm not over on my weight, last scales were...

You'll Love Glacier. We spent two weeks in the area and could have spent more. We hiked about 30 miles of trails and only put a dent in them. If you like Zip Lining, try Whitefish Mountain a little west of Glacier. Fun, Fun, Fun. Also if you head a little south of Kalispell in Big Fork, try...

We left Ohio July 23rd and took the Hi Line Route 2 from St Ignace MI to Everett WA. So far, according to my spreadsheet, we have put on 5998.4 miles total, 3175.4 of that was towing. Right now we are in Eugene OR. We are slowly Zig Zagging our way to San Diego for the winter. Should be...

Thanks for the reply's everyone. I'll be in the Ancient Redwoods RV Park for a week, maybe I'll try a trial run on each route. Thanks again. Jim

Does anyone know if SR 36 out of the Redcrest Ca area is doable with a 40' Bighorn. We want to get from Redcrest to Red Bluff. Thank You Jim

Scotty. Our plans are to be in Moab on Oct. 15th at the Spanish Trails Park for 4 days. Then head to Glendale for a week. Safe travels. Jim and Wilma

Thanks Trace, that's what i was hoping. We have been on it in AZ but not this far north. Jim

Planning on heading to Glendale, UT. in October for a week. Has anyone traveled US 89 South from I-70 to Glendale with an RV. The Campground we are planning on staying in is the Bauer's Canyon Ranch RV Park in Glendale and they suggest coming in from St. George area. We will be coming from...

Re: Partial Power on Shore Power I think the FUN people are right. It's probably your cord. We had a bad plug on our 50 amp which also affected the 30 amp adapter. Replaced plug everything worked fine. Let us know what you fine please. Jim
