    Did they put the extra plate on the inside also?

    I can’t see if they did because I would have to remove coroplast. It was stock on my 303 which is a 2018 unit.

    Guys, I have a 2015 303RLS. We just returned home from a 10 camping trip and noticed the left (drivers) side of the camper riding a bit lower than usual. looking under between the tires, I discovered the rear spring hanger was broken and the springs are now jammed up against the frame. I'd like to think I can repair this myself where she sits but I'm not sure. Is this a job the average handyman can do? Where do I find the hangers and can I install ones a bit more stout than the original ones. Since I'm going the repair the ones than broke - at the hole you will notice, I'd like to replace all of them and feel better about my next camping trip. I have other photos if you need them.

    I contacted Lippert and they helped me out with part sizes and I was able to get the right size hanger for my 2018 and bolt size. Since my bolt sheared off, spring eye was damaged so had to also replace the spring too. They will need your VIN and a picture of a decal on your pin that lets them know what frame number it is as in picture attached.

    You will have to remove the old hanger and weld a new one, don’t know if you have the ability to do so. See if Lippert will help with the cost of having that done.

    Thanks for the response. Where is the decal for the pin? I see a patent pending decal and a 5200 # on the mid point of the axle but not sure of a PIN decal. I will contact Lippert for replacement hangers but none of this requires welding - that I can see. These are bolt on hangers for the mid point of the two springs. What's to weld? I am just wondering if I can jack up the side of the RV at the frame, remove the wheels and replace each one of the hangers at the midpoint of the springs. Sounds simple but there's always a missing - aha moment! I'd like to figure that one out ahead of time.

    That's the shackle that broke. If it were me, I'd replace all the shackles with Morryde. They're far beefier.

    I am sorry, thought it was hanger but in fact it is shackle that broke. You can either use MorRyde or Lippert shackles it’s their equalizer but as mentioned, MorRyde is beefier.The decal is on the pin box not the axle or could be on frame between door and overhang. Mine was on the pin box.

    I'll gather up that information and call MORryde for some replacement hangers. I'm still thinking of doing this myself. I'll post a photo or two as I go along. Thanks for your help on this.
