How heavy is the camper? What caused the originals to break? Rust?

I guess old age. Did some trails that were a little bumpy.(lol). I didn't even know they were broken til I went for inspection.
The camper won't exceed the tow weight limit. Maybe 4000-5000 pounds.

For that weight, some OE or OEM's will be more than enough. Helper springs and bags will only benefit for trailers right at the limit (a dumb thing to do...)


Rockauto has some decent choices. Any of these will serve your needs
