Trailair Equaflex mis alignment
No idea how it happened but I finally purchased a TPMS and notice after a ways on my last trip I had 2 tires(front on one side and rear on other that was building a few degrees in temp and about 10 more pounds of pressure. After scratching my head thinking I needed more grease or I had brake drag I noticed my leaf springs weren't hanging correctly. Bot sides on my camper they tilt in opposite directions. I'm hoping I can get both axles off the ground and somehow push them apart and it will fall in place. Unless someone has a better idea...
Edit I have the 6pt Hydraulic jacks to get everthing off the ground.

Looks like you have hydraulic jacks, you can use them in manual mode to get all wheels off the ground. When you do, there is a good chance your shackles will flip which is ok, you will just need to flip them back the correct way. It's easy to do with the assistance of a floor jack. If you search online for flipping axle shackles, there are plenty of videos to show you what to do, or you can just do a trial and error. Hopefully that recenters your equalizers. Is the area where you are parked level? If you arent on level ground the equalizer wont be exactly centered, so dont get too focused on it not being centered. Both sides should behave in the same manner though unless the ground isnt level side to side either. Might want to find a nice level spot first and see if that fixes anything before lifting the camper.

Looks like the shackles are in proper orientation. The wheel on the left in pic seems to be carrying more load. Do a thorough inspection if/when on level ground. Something else may be causing issues.

Its not if you look close. The front axle is playing a bit of an optical illusion with my camera angle.

jkh36619 were you able to fix this problem? My 350 m is doing the same thing and lifting the one side off of the ground did not change it.
Looks like another big shift in...
