I recently discovered I had a broken leaf on my passenger side rear axle leaf spring on my 2011 Heartland Edge M21. While my mechanic was working on it he noticed that the axles at all four wheels were banging against the bottom of the frame, bending the edges of the frame above each wheel. BTW, this is the same leaf spring that was hanging, not attached to the shackle on one end, when I bought the trailer. And, the bolt to hang the spring on the shackle was in place with the nut tightened.
The mechanic has suggested that I flip the axles to add a few inches of clearance between the axles and the frame. The Lippert trailer frame as a pair of 2500# axles, hopefully labelled correctly. How does Lippert and/or Heartland feel about this? Is there anything I should be concerned about? I understand there "over/under kits" available for these conversions.
The RV already bounces like crazy at times when I pull it and I'm concerned it may be worse after changing the center of gravity. My tow vehicle is a 2011 Ford F-150 with the eco-boost engine. Any advice or guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
