We have had three separate instances where the leaf spring hanger has completely sheared off. After having discussed this with other similar owners, it appears to be a common occurrence. It is going to cause a major accident with losing an axle while driving down the road at some point if lippert components does not address this design flaw immediately on preexisting units. I've noticed on newer models this issue has been resolved with a redesign of the leaf spring attachment. We were in motion going down i-95 and were fortunate enough to get safely off the road. *dt *dt consumer has made repairs. Took it to a local welding/machine shop was told there was a design flaw. Carfax cannot process request.*jb
