Glad you made it safely to where you were going.
This is not an unusual failure. With my previous trailer, I had 3 hangers break almost exactly like yours.
I pretty much hate these leaf spring suspensions and I'm going to an IS and/or air bag setup as soon as I can.
If you're just getting this fixed, see if they can install a hanger reinforcement like this on my 349M

That's a great suggestion! I've got a mobile welder coming tomorrow to see if they can fix the problem, i'll show them a picture of your setup to see if we can replicate. Thank you!

I don't think the issue is leaf spring suspension as much as it's Lipperts crapy welders and cheap metal.

So, this topic has been discussed to death. Here are links to some of the other threads.

IMNSHO, the entire suspension (hangers, axles, equalizer, springs, shackles) on my 17K GVWR 349M is pathetic compared to the suspension on my 14K GVWR F-450.
Seems to me there are more inadequacies than welds and hanger metal.signature
