broken spring bracket

[docport]

found spring hanger broken on 2010 montana3455sa while checking brakes. Had all brackets reinforced and welded. Now to change out shackle bolts..Has anyone used the LIPPERT neverfail bolts and do they fit. Plan on installing new shackle bolts, rear axle brakes and installing morryde cre3000 hanger. Any suggestions or comments. Thanks.

Back bracket on leaf spring is broken - broke at top on both sides. Took to have welded - since we plan to have the IS system install in may. But the welder said since both sides a crack - he would not recommend enforcing it. He recommend replacing the bracket. So thats were the trailer is now - getting a new bracket.

RV Tech believes the broken bracket could be tied to the blow out, I had in August, and he will submit the process under the insurance claim. The parts have started to arrive to rebuild the side damaged by the blow out.

Thanks Joe..I have not had a blowout luckily..Got rid of my china bombs and put goodyear 614's on. The right rear bracket was completely broken off and the top was facing forwards the opposite side (same hanger) was cracked. He reinforced all brackets with steel plates and welded all around so they should be much stronger. Now got to put new shackle bolts in. Hoping those "Never fail" from Lippert will fit without a problem. Anyone out there have experience with Lippert Neverfail bolts...........
