upon return trip home from camping seemed like trailer was riding lower than normal and swaying more. looked under trailer and leaf springs were flat. This could have resulted in broken spring which could lead to crash. The trailer was not overloaded. sticker on side of trailer shows dry weight is 4360lbs, GVWR is 5500, GAWR is 5100. inspection shows label on axle is 4400 lbs and each leaf spring is 2200 lbs. We do not travel with tanks filled. we did not have anywhere near 5500 in trailer total weight. Dealership says the axle is correct rating for trailer as it is calculated to be 80% of 5500 on axle and 20% on tongue. Why is the GAWR (axle rating) on the sticker listed at 5100? The axle/springs should be rated to 5100 if that is what is printed on sticker. I am forced to "upgrade" or replace springs out of pocket. Had I known the axle could only support 4400, I would have purchased something different. I feel mislead by the "official label" that they used to advertise the weights.
