Question:

I have 2017 cougar xlite 5th wheel , 29rli 7800 dry weight . 33’ I’m thinking springs weak on refrigerator side , tire rub marks on wood. I would like to install new heavier springs and also raise trailer height 2-4”. Please advise all I need and if you have them available. Thank You .

According to my research your 5th wheel should have 5,200 lb tandem axles so you need leaf springs with at least that high of a weight rating. I'm attaching a link to our selection of leaf springs for you to filter through - if you can give me the length from the center-eye to center-eye of your leaf springs I can help you find a replacement.

Then to raise your trailer a few inches we have the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # RR23QX. This can raise your trailer height up to 2-1/4" and help you level your trailer.

Please note that as important as it is to level your trailer front to back, you also need to do so side to side so if your tires are rubbing your trailer frame on one side you'll want to counter the weight on the other side of the trailer.
