Question 1993 CLUB THE SPRINGS ARE STRAIGHTEND OUT BE FOR get to the over loads

[Loaded this truck with goose neck 25 ft trailer with 3000 ft of pipe and the bottom springs were almost straight and it just now was on the to of the over load spring.Looks like to me i need to put bigger rubber or neoprene bumpers on the frame flanges so that they touch the over load sooner but i don't see were i can get them anywhere i might have to call dodge.The main thing is i don't want to break or bend the regular bottom springs.Really cant figure out why the made it that way.that load was heavy about 25.000 pounds it pulled it prety good.[FONT="Arial Black

Sounds pretty normal to me. They have to squat pretty hard to get on the overloads. How much space do you have before the axle hits the bumpstops?

Well looks like 2 or 3 inches the little ruber bumper are little ones i was trying to find some bigger ones these are only one inch or so.Just dont see any were to by replacements.The bottom springs are almost ready to go the other way when the over load springs just started to do any thing.Thanks for your help!
