Haven't hit anything, no prior suspension work, no off-roading except for a couple of Harvest Host locations parking lots.
Rear springs have to be replaced as the bushing holes on one side are too large for a new bushing and he'd replace both sides. He still has to check the front. So on the rear hangers, bolts, springs. I'm trying to source replacement springs and a place to get them installed in Montana/Idaho area. Will also be replacing the front bolts/bushings as well.
The bushings are supposed to be pressed in by Dexter. No sign of any bushing remnants on the rear and they simply didn't disappear - should have left some kind of residue in the grease. Two possibilities, they either totally disintegrated or weren't pressed in from the start though Lippert says they won't cover anything after reviewing the photos sent to them, the cause was a shock load. News to me - didn't feel anything in the truck. When he checks the front bushings, we may get a better idea.
More to come and may only have a temp repair until the springs are replaced but can tow for a bit, just not all the way back yet.
