You don't need to raise it high to get the leg out. You lift it out the top, not drop it out the bottom.

I called Lippert to get the correct replacement part.
And I used cribbing and a 12 ton bottle jack to raise it enough to get hooked up to the truck.

City water supply.
I suspect it might have been from our last fill up since it seemed the water heater was by far the worse and that water was from the last trip. I filled that time at Sand Hollow...

Actually, mine is a tandem axle as was at least 1 other on this thread. I also had a friend with a tandem axle Fusion 5'er that had the same problem. It was the rear hanger as you mentioned.

5'ers probably have the issue more than BP's due to much more wieght. But I would say there is risk with any trailer, especially toyhaulers because they are heavier than TT's.

I agree that it's the side load that is stressing the hangers right where they are welded to the frame.

Mine wore out (flattened) after 3 yrs. I weighed it a few times and was running right at max rating, which is easy to do due to not much CCC on these things. I ended up replacing the 7k axles with 8k...

You will hit a lot of passes if you head east out of Oregon which will increase your chances of hitting bad road conditions.

I didn't count the number of leafs. The new axles came as a complete assembly, with 8k springs.
