Wow, sure did a number on the spring pack and tires.  :eek:  Glad to see they got you all fixed up. I see you got the disk brakes, how you like them? Did they just put the e-z flex equalizers on or did you have them on already? I have been thinking of adding something like that to my 5'er.

When I found out Forest River was going to replace the axles, wheels & tires I inquired about adding the EZ-FLEX and the cost.  They offered to install them for free.  The heavier springs and new suspension hauled and handled very well today.

We towed the Day Dreamer for a short while this weekend to our local campground.  WOW what a difference.  While backing the rig in the spot and again at home up the driveway the axles were much more solid and tracked each other great.  The rig while going down the road had very little sway.  It is obvious Forest River should have placed 8k axles on this rig as standard parts. :clap:  The larger spring set made the coach over the axles sit a full 2 inches taller.  While driving thru the campground and crossing the asphalt speed bumps I watched the coach,  each axle crossed over the bumps much softer and the coach glided over them softer.  This is where the EZ-FLEX helped out.
