2007 Flagstaff 176 ST Leaf Springs Replacement with Higher Capacity
Updated 06/09/2021 | Published 06/08/2021
Question:
I have completely rebuilt my 2007 Flagstaff 176 ST. In doing so, my camper is now heavier. After doing so research, Ive learned that Forest River uses 3500 lb rated axels as a standard. However, the leaf springs will need upgraded. Do you by chance happen to know which leaf spring it is that I can use as a replacement? I would like to replace them with a 4-leaf spring instead of a 2-leaf spring already on it I have already done an axel flip and installed bigger tires. The current leaf springs measure 25 1/2inch center of eye bolt to center of eye bolt.

Expert Reply:
To go with a higher rated leaf spring you'd have to go with a 5,300 lb axle leaf spring part # SP-222275 which happens to be 24-7/8 inches long. You might have to cut off your older hangers and move them slightly closer though since your springs are longer. We don't have anything that matches closer at this time.
