Denny something like this
On a side note though I'm getting ready to order the HD shackles and thinking of changing the rubber spring and wondering if I should change them while I'm under there. Did yours look like this?

Yes like mine but mine have shock mounts on them that I no longer use because they didn't offer enough shock travel. My rubber springs on one side of mine were split were the rubber meets the steel plate about 1" deep all the way across the block, I noticed the trailer was leaning to that side. The other side looked like yours and they say they that's normal. I replaced all of mine when I was at it, I ordered the blocks before I removed the old ones and using their site I ordered 010 blocks and when I removed the old ones they were 08. I installed them anyway and it did make it ride harder . If I remember right they were $120 each.

Thanks, I see what they cost if they're in that price range maybe I'll just change them. There was a #20 on them.

I'm envious! We just picked up our new F350 supercab last week and will be ordering a 337 next spring. We really like the recent changes to the 337. Enjoy!

Heres my 2005 "Flying" Dutchman... outside is meant to be low key but thinking about a wrap or something.

Lots of upgrades nothing left alone, bathroom was moved, all electrical is LED and touch activated and has no moving parts. microwave/super oven that can cook frozen pizzas, Italian oven, European low power fridge, low power tv all drawers and cabinets, anything that can move, when moving locks in place with electromagnets and a hidden switch, Tanks were increased and storage added. It's my mobile mansion, that I can live off grid for a bit with. 360 security, blah blah i may have to do a write up some day..

thanks thanks guys, so much more to the rig i just have been moving (houses) and havent got a chance to get back to the Trailer in a bit. ill take pics with all the lights on and such also. I actually have TOO MUCH storage so i want to pull that bench out and make something more modern couch and dinette but want the eating area to disappear when I'm not using it so ill have to figure something out.the bench is just storage and cushions right now. and hold the Japanese style low table. makes a difference when you get rid of that grampa wood that comes in all the campers.
