Yes you certainly can go from a 4 leaf to a 6 leaf spring on your 2020 Open Range 5th Wheel. It will add slightly to your ride height, but there should not be any other components that will be compromised or need to be swapped out. You will want to be sure that your axle u-bolts will be long enough to accommodate a slightly thicker spring. If you have an extra 3/4" or 1" of thread left you should be good. You will also want to be sure that the new spring has the same eye-to-eye length as the old spring. It is best to measure the springs when not under a load, so we can get an accurate measurement.
