How Much Does a Trailer Axle Over-Under Kit Raise a Trailer

Question:

I read Michael Hs response to an inquiry i.e., question-55855 how to raise a low-profile trailer. I inherited a 97 Mallard Fleetwood with floor plan 24C as I recall. It has the 2-3/8inch round axle Michael recommends the # K71-384-00 kit in his response. How much will it raise a trailer? I am tired of dragging the trailers butt through dips and inclines, and I would like to raise it without a axle flip and welding. I do have pictures I can send in subsequent e-mails for this conversation. Please let me know what you might recommend. Best regards -

When you use an over-under kit like the # K71-384-00 you will end up raising the trailer the thickness of the axles and leaf springs. I attached a picture that shows this.

You will need to measure the thickness of your springs and axles to know how much your trailer would get lifted.
