Imagine 2500RL clearance between top of tires and bottom of deck.
I noticed that for my unloaded trailer (11 months old), I only have 2 1/2 inch clearance between top of tire and bottom of deck on passenger side tires. On the drivers side, there is only
2 1/4 inch clearance. This doesn't seem like very much room as far as tire rubbing on bottom of deck when driving. I checked the clearance on many different new Grand Design trailers on dealers lot and all had 3 inches or more clearance. So far I have not seen any signs of tire rubbing on deck. My springs look OK but not great. They measure right at I what I believe to be the Dexter 1 1/2" measurement compression spec between top surface of spring (at center of spring) to a line drawn across center of spring eyes (when under load). I don't know if "under load" means trailer not packed for travel, or if it just means spring installed in on dry camper.
I would like to upgrade to Dexter E-Z Flex with wet bolts or MoRRyde, but I am concerned that if either of these add any wheel up/down movement it might cause wheel rub
I noticed a new 2500RL on dealer lot that had taller spring hangers (1" taller) than I have on my 2017 and also had a different Dexter axle part number than I have.

Danedubr,
There are multiple threads on this subject as well as RVs that sag on the heavy kitchen side with work done by Rob (Cate and Rob) on a unique spring solution. I've performed updates to my Imagine 2600RB where the solution was cheap and effective. The thread is "Imagine 2600RB tire to floor clearance".MidwestCamper
