There are a couple of options to lift your trailer depending on if your axle's sit above or below the leaf springs. If you have torsion axles these systems won't work and I'll need to know what number axle you have to recommend the right lifting blocks.
If your axles are already below your leaf springs the only option is the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit item # RR23QX. This kit mounts to your spring hangers and moves the attachment point down 1-1/4" or 2-1/4".
If your springs are below your axles you will want to use one of our axle flip kits. These work by moving your axle below your springs and give you a lift equivalent to your axles thickness. You will need one for each axle. You can use the Lift Kit item # RR23QX with either of the flip kits.
3" Axle - Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit item # K71-385-00
2-3/8" Axle - Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit item # K71-384-00
