Is it Okay for Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System Medium-Duty Trailers to be Compressed

Question:

I recently installed this product on my 5th wheel and with the 5th wheel sitting parked and unhooked the rubber springs are already compressed to about 3 1/8 . Is this okay and if not can I trim some off the bottom of the rubber springs to allow proper clearance.

It's not uncommon for the Timbren Kit for Trailers part # TTRA1032 to be partially engaged once installed. I would not recommend cutting the spring down but you might verify your leaf springs are in good shape and that they aren't being overloaded.
