For 7k axle leaf springs like what the Dexter axle part # 8327860 you referenced is designed to fit you'd want the part # DX74XR which is for a 8k axle like what you almost have but would work great still even though it's a little more capacity than you'd need.

In order to find the correct replacement hubs for your 2016 Keystone Raptor, since you already know the weight rating of your axle, you need to know what bearings your current hub has. You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at…

Since both the 7k Roadmaster Comfort Ride system #RM-2460-2570 and the 8k version part #RM-2460-2580 are designed for 3 inch axles you can use either and in your case the 8k version would be perfectly compatible and give you a little more suspension…

The Roadmaster Comfort Ride you'd want for your 2020 Arctic Fox 29-5T is the #RM-2460-2580 which is properly rated for your trailer, fits your 3 inch axles, is height adjustable so it can match the height you currently have, and will get rid of…

Between the 7K #RM-2460-2570 and 8K #RM-2460-2580 Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks I recommend going with the 7K for your 2018 Vilano 5th wheel. It will give you the best ride possible since it's designed to work with…

The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit #RM-2460-2580 isolates the front and rear suspension from each other. So the axles will not distribute the weight like it will with equalizer style spring systems. While this might not seem like…

I reached out to Roadmaster about the Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks #RM-2460-2580 you are looking to install. While they are unable to give exact numbers for the length of travel on the leaf springs the shocks do have 5-1/2"…

Hello Jim thank you for your question. Out of the options you are considering, both will be solid suspension upgrades for your 2019 Keystone 5th wheel, especially if all of the suspension is still stock. I do really like the Roadmaster Comfort Ride…

Answer 8

I would be happy to help you with a new suspension system for your 2022 Jayco Northpoint 310RLTS. It looks like your 5th wheel has a 15,000 lbs maximum capacity so that eliminates the Timbren Silent Ride because those systems top out at 14,000 lbs. I…

I checked directly with Dexter, and from what I saw they have a measurement - taken from center of spring eye to center of spring eye - of 24.8", which is the same as our 24-7/8" measurement for the 7-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 8,000-lb…

Answer 10

Grand Design does a great job listing the parts for their trailers but the one thing they don't list individually is the leaf springs. I can see that you have 7k axles on your Momentum 320G but you will have to measure the length to see if it…

Answer 11

Hey Bill, sorry to hear about all the trouble you're having but after looking at the pictures you sent in I'd have to agree with the tech. I think you're going to need to up your springs to a beefier set like the 7-Leaf Double-Eye Spring…

Answer 12

If your 2021 Grand Design Solitude 375RES is loaded when you're taking that measurement then yes, that would be why you're seeing a difference in the length from what you're measuring and what we have listed for the 7-Leaf Double-Eye…
