Participants: Did you hear of any OTT reactions/comments relative to the failing Dexter Springs? Thank you, GJ As to NOT derail this post. I did hear a few comments and it was basically that the failure rate was so low it was not of much a concern at all. And I agreed, the leaf spring horse is dead, it’s a nothing burger. Carry an extra leaf pack, or spend the lettuce and upgrade to a 5 leaf pack and get on with traveling enjoying your Oliver. This was the best rally ever in our experience. Everyone was chilling, grilling, making new friends, greeting old friends and having a fire side blast and enjoying their Oliver’s. Some of the fire side tales were actually true. 😄 Onward!🇺🇸🇺🇸 Edited May 23 by Patriot 2 2020 OLEII - Hull #634 aka- “XPLOR” 2021 F350 6.7 liter Diesel Lariat Ultimate Tremor North Carolina 🇺🇸 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Patriot. Believe it or not, your update is appreciated. But since you chose to again mention your approach on springs: There is a hand full of owners that believe a heavier duty, more compliant 4-leaf spring is a more appropriate option for the 6,000 pound OE2 fleet use. Out of courtesy to this thread, I'll leave it at that. If you will. GJ 1 TV: 2019 F-150 SuperCrew Lariat, 3.5L EcoBoost, Max Tow, FX-4, Rear Locker OLLIE: 2018 OE2 Hull 342, Twin Bed.

Bill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AhTMweTUB8&ab_channel=Steve'sRoadTripChronicles Thanks for posting the link! I meant to add it here but it slipped my mind. Then I saw youtube showing that I was getting a lot of views from olivertraveltrailers.com and I figured someone had posted it 😄 On 5/22/2024 at 1:17 PM, dewdev said: Nice video, thanks. It would have been nice to see all the opening remarks in their entirity though.. Yes, I didn't get everything, but it would have been an hour long just from his remarks. Maybe next time I can setup a better camera on a tripod and get the whole thing. On 5/22/2024 at 1:32 PM, Patriot said: Neat video! And a really fun time. Thanks! I had a great time as well!
