Re: [SilverStreak] SS Suspension/wheels/tires

I have only seen one leaf spring on a trailer break, and I have been pulling trailers or riding 
with others pulling them for 40 years. The broken spring was on a horse trailer and horse 
trailers get a whole lot more abuse than camping trailers because of the bad roads you pull them 
down. If you are really worried about it, have a professional inspect them. 
To me tires are more a cause for worry, and if yours are ten years old I would be thinking about 
replacement. Can you fit a larger tire under there? Before you go to a 16 inch tire I would check 
for clearance, you would have to have the top of the tire hit the inside of the fender on bumps.
On the black rims, mine had black rims when I got it but I think it is just for looks.
