I had NO ADJUSTMENT left on the rear torsion bars. If you have some I believe that you could get away with adjusting to handle the additional load. They are a bit of a bugger to remove and install, and the new ones have threaded ends, which makes the install that much more difficult. Although upon later reflection I wondered if it would have been easier to screw them onto the lift arms that to have used force. Might have been a huge duhhh on my part ;-)

I got a full set of torsion bars figuring that it is better to have them on hand than to find out later that for some reason they are unavailable. Total cost was $1009, with $189 of that being shipping.

I did not use VHB tape as I figured that unnecessary given the use of the UV4000 which is an adhesive sealant. It is removable but that operation is certainly not easy ;-)

Also note that I did NOT seal the inside of the bolt hole of the ceiling joint on the inside of the trailer. If water leaks in from outside I WANT it to move inside quickly rather than get trapped in the foam between the aluminum skins. I would notice any leak right away as it would drop on my bed :-) i want that rather than sealing any leaked water in the ceiling.

I completely sealed the outside, under the mounting square tube, under the head of the bolt inside that mounting tube and then the uphill edge of the mounting tube.
