Dave,
I expect the road conditions in South East New Mexico did nothing to soothe the "Mr. Cob".
US 285 from Ft. Stockton, TX to Roswell, NM is TERIABLE.

Mark,
I would like to add BS Trailer Sales 1900 East Wyatt Earp Blvd. Phone# 888277-2537 Dodge City, KS 67801 to the trailer repair list.
The service was great, swift and the owner was quite friendly.
We broke a spring just west of Dodge on Saturday. I called and left a message stating what I needed on Sat.
Monday when I called to confirm if they could take care of me they said" I thought that was you sitting in our drive". Anyway they replaced two springs and had me on the road by 2:30pm.Great people to deal with and fair prices.

I hope Maupin's has my tires in stock. I am running Yokohama RY023
BS Trailer Sales has been recommended for the spring. Should I replace both rear springs at this time?

It is my understanding that only the standard transmission (clutch pedal) 453 can be flat towed.
This comes from my research on the various smart4two blogs.

Lost Alaskan RV park in Alpine is a great park, but will be full the first week-end of March (Texas Cowboy Poets Gathering).
