A member in the Dallas Fort Worth area asked for a frame or alignment shop to straighten trailer axles and replace springs and spring hangers after seeing wear on the inside of the tires. The trailer has the factory Correct Track system, so members noted that Lippert service centers or an authorized/mobile tech may be worth checking, though it was unclear whether only Lippert-authorized shops can align that system.

Members suggested calling local truck frame and alignment shops and...

Yeah, I’m in Dallas Fort Worth Texas. I’m looking for a frame shop to straighten my axles and put on new springs. Does anybody know if anyone around here does that? And new spring hangers Thanks Tim
 
I went to google maps with DFW centered in the screen and searched "TRUCK FRAME AND ALIGNMENT SHOP" to get lots of results (screen shot below)...unfortunately nothing showed up for the east side of Dallas. You should perform the same search and start calling the shops to see who can help you and how backed up they might be.

I recently had Roadmaster Comfort Ride system installed on my rig. I had planned to take the rig to a shop in Waco I used for axle alignment 15 years ago (don't remember the name). As I was researching the Roadmaster Comfort Ride system, I looked at the shops that show up on the "dealer network" link from the Roadmaster website. DFW Frame and Alignment showed up, so they might be the first call you should make.

I tried searching MOC and IRV2 for shops in DFW area...must be using the wrong search terms...nothing came up. I know that the previous owner of my motorhome used Bucks Wheel and Equipment in North Fort Worth for alignment work (he lived in Grapevine).

Edit: I don't know anything about Lippert Correct Track system. Google says it can be aligned by an "authorized service center". The second screen shot is what comes up for Lippert service shops + there appears to be a Mobile Tech available near Dallas - I did not look him up. I have no idea if alignment for your system is "Lippert only" or if any alignment shop can work on it.

Where is the place in Fort Worth called Frank alignment they’re on seventh Street. I believe it is. I’ve had them work on my trailer before.
 
Keep in mind the axles are suppose to be bent. When you add weight to the trailer, they will go the the straight position then spring back to what appears to be bent out of place
 
Try Bucks wheel and Equipment in Ft.Worth. I know they work on semi’s. Call and see if they can help you.817-332-1228.
