Question:

Does etrailer sell a suspension kit to beef up the spring mounts that are welded to the frame. 2019 palimino puma fifthwheel. I have seen some on a few trailers that were bent from jacknifing while backing up the trailer.

I may have a solution for you, but I'm not directly aware of any reinforced hanger system; it might have been something that's custom fabricated. However, it's also possible that they've just replaced the spring hangers with something like the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers - Tandem 7K Trailer Axles # RM-2460-2570, which has a much larger and stronger center hanger.

If you can come up with any pictures of that you've seen I am more than happy to look into it for you though.
