It just makes sense to me

If you're traveling more than the average Joe. Putting on disk brakes is a must. With the left lane tailgaters in the right lane trying to get around everyone and doing stupid things in front of you, they are necessary today. Just consider it an expense of camping full time to justify the cost. Unless you're overloading your camper 8000 lb axles are not necessary just replace the springs to 8000 lbs. The springs on the 7000 lb axles are what wear out from being loaded to or near their maximum and they flatten out or break. You hear about springs flatting or breaking on here all the time but never hear about an axle breaking from too much stress. The springs on my 7000 lb axle have flattened out twice from me loading to the max and traveling on rough highways. (North East) So I put on 8000 lb springs and they have remained arched like new. A whole lot cheaper and easy to put on yourself.
