We currently are having this same issue on a 2010 RLQ that is only 2 months old. From what we've been told it is being caused by an installation error so lippert is going to cut off the spring hangers and supposedly re-position them in the proper location. While I'm quite nervous about this due to lipperts rep something has to be done. As a side note, I am told by a manufacture rep that anything over 1/2 inch is out of spec.
grizmt,
If this is on the driver's side of the rig, then before I would let them start cutting brackets off and relocating them, I would:
1. Find a good common reference point underneath and measure the placement of the spring hangers on both sides to see if there is a difference.
2. Measure eye-bolt to eye-bolt on each of the leaf springs, to see if they are the same. If there is a difference in the eye-bolt spacing, especially on the driver's side, you may want to call Dexter Axle and talk to them about it (this could indicate the spring has flattened and/or lost some of its capacity).
Your rig is much like ours and the Montana 3400RL in that the driver's side could very well be the heavier side of the rig. I hope this helps and keep us posted on what you find out.
Jack
