Expert Reply:
Although we do not have spacer blocks of that dimension we have an option for you that will allow you to lift your trailer with what is called an over/under conversion kit.
This moves your trailer's leaf springs to the top of your axle and lifts your trailer approximately the same amount as your axle's diameter plus the height of the leaf spring pack (please keep in mind this conversion kit is for use with double-eye springs only). The accompanying photo a customer sent in shows the end result of using this kit.
If you had a 2-3/8" round axle you would need Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 or if you had a 3" round axle you would need Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00.
I've added links to video reviews of both kits for you to check out.

I have a pull trailer that is riding to low for me Id like to lift it 3 or 4. The U bolts are 6long and about 3 3/4 apart. The spring shackle is 2W on what looks like a 2750 lb axle that looks like its 3 in dia. What do you have in the way of lift blocks with U bolts? Thanks
