I haven't taken possession of the trailer yet. It is currently still at the dealer. I just noticed that the hangers were reinforced and snapped those couple of photos. I'll check more in depth when I pick up the trailer next Wednesday. Agree with you completely that it should have a weep hole in each of the V's to allow any water to escape. I'll report back once I know more.

The problem is how do you find a suspension ship that knows how to weld these little plate reinforcements on? Also did you ever entertain the MorRyde independent suspension? I'm thinking of having a Carli Back Country suspension and 35x12.5R20 tires fitted to my F450, but this would result in an increased bed height of 1.5". My fiver is already very slightly nose high so I'd need to level the trailer somehow. I figure either go with the Roadmaster or MorRyde systems, with the attraction of the Roadmaster being significantly less expense. No idea how the two systems perform relative to each other however.

The way those braces are welded, it appears is to reduce twist as opposed to flex. Those brackets are designed to flex otherwise they'd be much shorter.

Rear hanger broken
I was on my way from Ohio to Arizona and discovered the right rear spring bracket broken. The inside had cracked away from the frame at the weld. On this day we were traveling from Davey Crockett national forest to Kemah Texas. By the time I found a shop north of Houston the outside of the bracket had cracked at the frame too. I can’t think of anything that would have precipitated the failure except repeated bending fatigue.
The welder attached angle iron on both sides of the bracket with one side of the angle boxing the bracket and the other side up against the frame. If I figure out how to post a photo from my phone I will add a picture. Now I am just hoping the other side doesn’t crack.Brian & Shea+ Zeke & Roxy GSP’s

Broken leaf spring bracket
It looks like LCI will accept the claim to cover the road repair and wants to see and estimate for replacing the rear brackets on both sides.
We will be in AZ for about a month. Does anyone know of a good RV trailer frame repair facility in the Phoenix area that has done this work?

Can anyone suggest a contact at Lippert so I could inquire about getting them to install the V brackets on my spring hangers? Or, at least get info on buying the brackets and having them welded locally.
Also, what search phrase would I use to locate the "really long thread (aprox 29 pages)" on suspensions mentioned in post #4 ?
thanks,2020 Reflection 273MK
