Yep. Turns out it was an adjustment of the hydraulic ram. It was causing the slide to push out crooked and it would bind. Works fine now.
Of course this morning I am looking over the work they did and I see I have a broken leaf spring. Right front one this time. I talked to dunrovin1955 and he had a spare leaf spring but it was for a 6000lb axle. The main spring is the same they just add more leafs to increase the rating. So I disassembled the one he had and replaced my broken one and we are now ready to go. This same thing happened at Destruction Bay in the Yukon Territory this past summer. I was able to find a main leaf spring there and fixed the broken one.
I think I will get 4 new ones over the winter. We have almost 50000 miles on the Monty and I am sure that the rough roads are beginning to take their toll on the springs. Sure wish I could find some 8000# axle springs that were double eye to upgrade. All I can find are slipper springs in that weight range.
