After 2 leaf springs broke on 2 different trips, And the inside of 4 new tires wore away after 8,000 miles I decided to get into it. From the factory, the axles are rated at 6,000 pounds each. The leaf springs were rated at 2,500 pounds each. No wonder the springs broke (also possibly due to age). Also, with the weaker springs, the wheels were bowed out causing the inside wear.

I installed 3,000 pound rated springs (have 1 more leaf than 2,500). Rig sits about 1 inch higher than before, and tires aren't bowed out. Also, both right tires were not properly aligned. Got that fixed.

Just put 3,000 miles on rig, inside of new tires look fine.
