Standing on my own feet

Last week I thought I would replace the Chinese races in the new drums with the Timken ones I purchased, The inner one is the same but the outer one takes a larger O.D. bearing than was in the old Kesley Hayes drum.
I put in a call to Axis axle and told them of my predicament and they sent me out 4 new outer bearings and also sent 4 new seals for free.
I packed all the bearings and when I when to install the inner bearing I found that Rock Auto had sent one of the wrong size. I gave them a call and they had the new bearing on my door step at 10:00 am the next morning.
I had three of the drums installed last week and today I put the last one on and got the wheels mounted, I didn't measure the before height but I bet I gained 2 more inches of height with the rebuilt axles. I can see the top of the tire through the wheel well now.

Total cost so far $547.00 and I still need to get the wheels\drums balanced and alignment checked. The local Airstream dealer does neither, I'll have to find a truck stop and get the wheels balanced and I will probably end up at the Airstream factory for the alignment check.
If I had to do it over again I would buy new axles from Axis axle $600.00 for the pair and everything would have been included.

I only get about 3/4" of travel with the new torsion springs, I hope this is because there new and it's 15 degrees out, I have read on airforums there should be up to 2" of travel.

Jan 12 2009:
"Duh, maybe I don't get the travel because I have gutted the trailer sense taking the axles off."

I also noticed after getting the wheels on that the rear axle is about 2" longer than the front axle, on the street side the rear wheel sticks out farther than the front wheel 1-1/8" and on the curb side 3/4". The axle is not a replacement either as the serial numbers on the axles are only 3 numbers apart. It is also not because of tow in/out casper chamber, what ever it's called.

Here are some before and after pictures:

Bath Destruction

Not much for this report.
I started taking the bathroom apart Friday so I can check if the rear is sagging or not. All I accomplished was get some trim removed and I got the bath sink off.

Destruction

I have gotten a lot done, don't have many pictures though.
I spent the last week tearing out the rest of the interior, buying parts and cleaning. I have all the interior tore out to the bath, I may take the sink out to repair a crack but have not decided if I will or not. I also noticed the sink and grey tank are about 3/4" lower than when new, I can see where the trim above the sink and the grey tank used to be riveted to the wall, the PO has screwed them to the wall now. Its sucks but I am going to have to take the belly pan off in the rear and investigate whats going on, I was going to take all the belly pan off in the spring and do any repairs that might need to be done but I suppose I should do this before I put things back together. It is cold and snowing and I don't look forward to this.

I tore two of the overheads completely apart and cleaned them, I have one back together and one partially back together I need to find some more Tinnerman clips that hold the wood panels to the aluminum extrusions. If you know what the manufactures part number is I would appreciate hearing form you.

I also started cleaning the interior walls with TSP and Magic Erasers, holy crap there's a lot of grim in a 34 year old trailer. When I went to Lowes to purchase some TSP they also had on the self TSP phosphate free, how the hell can Trisodium phosphate be phosphate free?

The interior all torn out:
