Question:

What is the recommended lift kit for a 2018 Lance travel trailer, tandem axle, model 2285?

Expert Reply:

It looks like your 2018 Lance 2285 uses a leaf spring suspension so you wouldn't want to use the # K71-707-02 for torsion axles. Based on my research, it looks like you have 3,500 lb axles on your trailer which would have a diameter of 2-3/8". I recommend verifying this information to be sure.

Assuming your axles are sitting on top of the leaf springs, you can use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00. This will move the axle underneath the leaf springs, raising it by the diameter of the axle and the height of the leaf spring stack. This kit is for 2-3/8" diameter axles. If you find that you have a 3" axle you will need the # K71-385-00 instead.

If your leaf springs are already sitting on top of the axle, the only option would be to use the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # RR23QX. This will raise your trailer height by 1-1/4" or 2-1/4".

I have attached an installation video for your reference.
