Our breakaway has a drupping problem. The right front corner is lower the the left side. Does anyone have the spring to frame measurements?

Gary, Have you measured the side that is not drooping? I am sure it will be somewhat lower from the sagging side pulling it downward. Measuring the opposite side will give you a starting point. Look carefully at the springs to see if any are broken. Look for a broken spring hanger too.

Gary, a long ago colleague had a spring shop as a sideline. As I remember all they needed was the max weight, turns, diameter and unloaded height to provide the proper spring. A pic would probably help as well, fwiw, Tim
