3400RL owners

[Ozz]

Those of you who had individual wheels weighed, I know the kitchen slide side, or drivers side is heavier, how much heavier is it than the other side?
I am buying new springs, I may scale the weights to the load rating of the springs. I may not as well, but I would like an idea of the weights so I can have that data for my calculations.
I imagine I will be around 400# heavier than some. (Total)
When I weighed on our last outing, I just had the total weights.
My trailer Axel was 12020 (Just 2 6v,+ 3,000 Watt Inverter and the bicycle carrier with 2 bicycles, no cargo carrier)
Thanks!

We have a 09 3400RL, and yes the drivers side was lower to about 3/4 of an inch. Discussed this with our spring company (Dexter Dealer) and if you already have a 3500 lb spring on each side as we did for a 7000lb axle, there is not a 4000Lb spring pack in a 1 3/4 width. With their help and what I then did with our original springs, was removed all 4 and dismantled cleaned them up ( lots of rust between leaves I guess from the origial assembly). City Spring then fabbed me an addition leaf made as #2 from the top for each spring pack. This new leaf now runs from shackle pin to shackle pin. All 4 springs; I installed new center bolts, all new grade U-bolts (they need to be longer to accomodate that extra spring), new wide thick washers and new fine thread extra long nuts. I did install the wet bolt kit myself in 09. Our springs now contain a total of 7 leaves to each pack and after installation the Monty now sits level (side to side) within 1/4 of an inch on a level concrete floor. Completed all the work myself ( in that way I have all the confidence that it was done correct with all proper torque values) and have travelled about 5000 miles on this new suspension. Nothing has bounced around in the Rig so the spring action is working well. I have shocks in combination with the Mor-Ryde system. Hope this helps.
My next move will be the installation of the Kodiak/Titan hydraulic disk brake system. Again I will do the work myself.

Thanks, I am consulting with my Dexter dealer, a big trailer and suspension company here in K.C., we are weighing ahh, no pun intended, options on the new suspension. I like what you did, I also noticed you re-located the water pump and insulated it, can you show pictures and explain further?
Thanks Ozz

Ozz I am looking at the weigh sheet by RVSEF weiged at the fall rally in 2009.. Understand we are long timers and do run heavy..Right tires were Right tires 3.125 front 3.175 rear.

Left tires 3.200 front 3.425 rear. We did note after the fact that we were carrying a near full tank of fresh water as we had been boon docking.

calculating for the extra water weight we figure we were right side 3082 front,3132 rear left side front 3157 rear 3382. we were over on the 6K axles as well as GVWR

.. We did cut that stuff off and went to the Mor Ryde IS system.
