Well, we got back from the Arkansas jaunt and I'll have to say it was money well spent. The bumps and rail crossings were for a loss of a word ... spongey instead of the solid jolt with the original suspension assembly. We've never had much movement inside the camper prior to the install, but for a test I left a napkin holder and salt and pepper shakers on the table ... 300 miles later they were still there. One item I was a little suprised about ... several of you have had shackle bolt holes really wallowed out. I've got probably 15,000+ miles on my fiver which is not a lot, but when I did the install, none of the original bolts, shackles, or teflon bushings were even slightly worn. I wonder what makes the difference?
