Does this look right to you? We are looking at spring hangers bent inward.

The problem is Dexter specs the hangers @ 1.82"-1.94" wide. The hangers that Lippert welded on are 2.059"-2.062" wide. That is about a 1/4" too wide. In fact they would be almost perfect for a 2" wide spring. But my springs are 1.75" wide so when you put a narrow spring in a wide hanger, hold one side square to the spring, the other side has to bend in 1/4" as seen in the pictures, plus the 4 wet bolts will not take grease on the spring ends.

I sent the Dexter specs to Keystone, but since I have to deal with a "customer service/not" person, I do not know if the specs were relayed to someone in technical services. The reply had no mention of the hanger being too wide, just it was not their problem.

Got a $1,100 credit on my card this morning,(from the X Factor Install charge @ the dealership) so maybe now someone will look into this.

And Yes, the Marathon's are gone and in their place are Duravis 250's.
