Off topic, but I need help with my camper.
So my wife and I bought this camper last Spring for $350. It was horrible inside, so we completely remodeled it. And we used it all last summer, my problem is that it sits really low when towing and leans to the left. So if we hit any bumps, the rear bumper drags. My question for you guys is, how would you fix the suspension? I was thinking about adding a 2.5-3" block on the left side to fix the lean, but I would like to lift the camper all together so it doesnt sit so low. When it is hooked up to my truck I have less then a foot of clearance, more like 6". I know Im shooting in the dark here, but I wanted to see if you all had any ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm guessing you need new leaf springs. They are cheap.

even a new 3500 axle with electric brakes is around $250
Oh and I drove through Coeur d' Alene a few times, man is that place nice!

You have two things to consider. 1. Trailer needs to sit level longitudally (front to back) and 2, laterally (sideways. Do the spring thing for sideways and a drop down ball mount for the front to back. Not sure if your rig has a refrigerator, if it does, the fore and aft level is a must. If my memory is working, the ball height from ground should be 19-21 inches. If your tow vehicle is lifted, a drop mount of same amount is required.
