Lets give them the doubt benefit and said that the supports were under the frame outside the camera angles.

I had them too...I think they belong on the other ends of the leaf springs (which I didn't do) and in the center of the CRE 3000 (which I did do because I added the x-factor brace)

could it be because it's the same kit for a CRE3000 or CRE4000
Can you spot me were you installed the extra ones
is it like that image on the top where the CRE is linked to the frame.
So to remove that part I will need to support both axle oh well that is fine just a little more 6x6 piece of wood.

Could be....
I just count the old bolts vs. the new wet bolts. All the old bolts that attach to a leaf spring or the suspension can be replaced with a wet bolt.
You can see the center wet bolt that I installed (it came with the x-factor brace)
The others can go on the "stationary" or dead ends of the leaf springs

Tom how much was your wet bolt kit.
My dealer is doing mine while they change the brakes. $230. Canadian.

Just payed 196 CAD for mine from the Stealership.
I think they sell for about 100$ US...on Amazon.
But shipping to Canada is a killer.

Oh thanks Thierry...I didn't realize you were from Canada.
I don't feel like I'm getting it up the rear now from my dealer.

Notice any difference in the x factor braces, I mean as far as trailer flex on crazy angles when towing?

Yupe Calgary is still in Canada for NOW....
230$ and they change it for you it's not too bad, it come then to a mater of knowing how you can trust the mechanics at the shop.
And your trailer is already there so even easier... think twice if you plan to make it yourself, to make a good job you need to jack the trailer then jack/support both axle so you can change the bolt on the frame and the one on the other side of the leaf and then start again on the other side of the trailer.
Lot of 6x6 piece of wood... I will do it because I don't really thrust the dealership and it's 100km away from our storage.

I'm also getting the springs lowered to the next lower hole on the front spring hangers to lift the trailer an inch. The new TV is too high.

And if your rig is like mine, it's easy to bottom out the rear leveling jack's!

Haven't towed with it yet. Don't think there will be any noticeable difference since it's just an extra brace between the two shackles. I already had bracing from the factory between the leaf spring shackles.

Alright...ya'll have shamed me into it! For less than $200, I ordered the shackle upgrade and the x-facor braces. I just won't tell the DW until they arrive! Better to beg for forgiveness than to ask permission!

By the time they arrive, hopefully I have the TV back from body shop! My initial $1,500 estimate jumped to $5,000. Apparently the roof was worse than they thought...It has to be repaired and painted.

Ouch. I had a feeling that 1500 estimate was low. Hope you get it back as good as new
