Recommended Roadmaster Comfort Ride For A 2022 Vanleigh Beacon 5th Wheel With 8K 3" Axles  

Question:

The Roadmaster Comfort Ride System 2470-2580 indicates it is for 8k axles 3-1/2inch 3.5 diameter. Our 2022 Beacon 41LKB came with 8k axles, but it has 3inch axles per my actual measurement, not 3.5 inch. Attached is a photo of a Lippert label on one of our axles showing it is supposed to be 8k. I have contacted Vanleigh to confirm what size axle we are supposed to have. But, in the meantime, does Roadmaster make a system like the 2470-2580 for an 8k axle 3inch in diameter? Thank you very much.

Helpful Expert Reply:

Since you have 8K 3" axles you'll just need the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks - Tandem 8K, 3" Trailer Axles # RM-2460-2580.

The 3-1/2" requirement you were getting with the # RM-2470-2580 was simply because of the shock kit. I do recommend replacing your U-Bolts as well though with ones like # APUBR-9 as these get stretched and worn out after being torqued down and could potentially cause an issue down the road. These U-Bolts fit a 3" axle with 1-3/4" or 2" wide springs (the Comfort Ride comes with 1-3/4" wide springs).
