I don't think with the way a trailer is built and with the geometry of the suspension that you can't help but wear/bend components way too fast over time trying to push all the components sideways instead of going straight.

What would be the downside to just weld tubes to the spring hangers rather than bolt?
I see the X-Factor bolts atop of the spring hanger and the main stress of the hanger is the bolt running thru spring, which is below.
Seems a tube welded solid to the spring hanger would be an easier and faster mod?
seems one could cut out the bottom of the tube wall to access the spring hanger bolt.
Your thoughts?
