Question:
I currently have Dexter 5200lb axles on my 2022 Grand Design Reflection 31MB. The axles are also equipped with the Moryde CRE3000 suspension and wetbolt kit. I emailed Grand Design and they advised the Dexter replacement part is 072-097-02 for the springs. I was hoping to upgrade to a 6-leaf, spring, that would fit the dimensions of the original Dexter replacement part number. Also, I assume I would need longer u-bolts and brass bushings. Can you point me in the right direction for these parts? Thank you.

Hello Chris,
We have exactly what you are looking for and it looks like you already found it, our etrailer 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e94SR will work as a great replacement to Dexter's part number 072-097-02. Whenever you change out your leaf spring it is recommended to change out the u-bolts as well anyway because they do stretch over time, for the U-bolt kit you will want # CE23003.
Getting things all geared up for nice weather? Any big trips planned for the year?

Hey Chris, how did the upgrade to the 6-leaf springs and new U-bolt kit work out on your Reflection? Your results could really help others thinking about the same suspension upgrade. Did you notice any change in ride quality after the swap?
