What do you mean? One of your rear suspension coil springs was there when you left and now it’s not??? While just driving on the road?

Yeah...curious here as well. Sounds like you lost a rear spring on your trailer? I’m assuming not on your Jeep!

Exactly ? and never felt it. I am running the air lift 1000 air bags and I think it saved me, and possibly caused problem. I did not load trailer properly not enough to tounge weight and got pretty squirrely. Repacked trailer checked air pressure in bags and everything was great. Left Kilgore drove like a dream never knew anything was wrong not even squatting too much. We got to the cabin and was showing my father in law how the springs worked and was holy &$%@ the driver side spring is missing. We towed trailer about 10 miles today to trailhead and did not have a bit of problem.

So if anyone along 259 sees a big spring with a red bags in it let me know or don't time to upgrade figure that's makes any lift 300 off normal price.

It felt different but chalked it up to trailer I can absolutely tell when unhooked. If I did not have the bags would be a different story all together. Still hooked up from this afternoon.
