The leaf springs sit under the axle and lowers the boat.. Also has five leaf springs.. Would this make for a rougher tow?

Can't really see in this pic, but the cross member has been bent do to hitting the pavement.. I can fix the cross member, but don't like how it happens..
Maybe put a small roller at the lowest point on the cross member to keep it from dragging..

Like how the spare tire is carried.. Would need to remove the jack and replace with a swing back jack..
No adjustments for the runners.. No rollers on trailer..
Is it necessary to have rollers for keel?
I have read a lot here on i-boats about the runners with carpet holding water and causing a problem with the aluminum hull.. How critical is this?
