Can 4-Leaf Springs be Replaced with 5-Leaf Springs on 2016 Grand Design RV?
Question:
Can I replace my 4-leaf springs with 5-leaf springs on a 2016 Grand Design Reflection 29RS fifth-wheel? Broke one of the springs last weekend; plan on replacing all four.

We can certainly help you replace your leaf springs, but your 2016 Grand Design Reflection 29RS, has Lippert 3,500 LB tandem axles, and unfortunately there are no 5-leaf springs available which meet that capacity.
To find proper replacements, you will need to know the length of the springs from the center of one eye to the center of the other eye. If that measurement is 25-1/8 inches, you will want the 4-Leaf Double-Eye, # e54SR. If the eye-to-eye measurement is 27 inches, you need the 4-Leaf Double-Eye, # SP-210275.
I have included links to video reviews and an install for these springs, as well as a help article on double-eye trailer suspension.
