Ken,
As the guy that bent one of your plates I was going to bring it up.
Another thing, you showed me the failed bogie that came off Double Trouble when Skip and Mary Newhouse owned it. IIRC the bottom on
one side had cracked away from the vertical part that bolts to the frame right where the bottom joins the vertical part.
I attributed that to someone using something stiffer between the bogie arm and the bogie when the coach was jacked up.

Good luck with that, Johnny. I've got a couple of those 2-1/2"x3/8"x12"
plates. They each have a significant arch, one very significant, from
having been installed when the rear wheels were jacked off the ground
without deflating the air bags. Unless you have 4 bags with individual
shutoff & dump valves, your bar will be VERY bent. Oh yeah -- what will
the "other" end of the bar ride against while bouncing down the road
(albeit slowly)?
