I've not heard of the leaf spring replacement advise you were given. I personally have owned several fivers, a couple of car trailers, as well as several farm type trailers and have never replaced springs on any of them for a just because scenerio. In today's world of "quality" products ... there's no guarantee what you buy new won't be worse than what you already have. I have no doubt the IS and disk brake setup is the "cat's meow" for those leaning towards full time use, but it's just not on the "bucket list" of this recreational camper.

X2 on all he said. Sounds like you had a shackle bolt or the shackle itself break causing the axle to shift. That's not caused by the leaf springs. Only reason to replace them is if you've overloaded your trailer quite a bit.
