This trailer sees some use off pavement. The added ground clearance provided by the kit is very helpful. The lifting blocks are well constructed and the hardware is high quality. Installation was straightforward, but great care must be taken when lifting the trailer off the ground to remove the axles and also to ensure that the new fasteners are tightened properly. Not a job for inexperienced mechanics.
The package arrived quickly as they said it would. I installed it as per the instructions and the job was easy. My Trail Lite Camper trailer has tandem axles so it was easy to just drive one set of axles up on ramps and install the lift kit on the hanging axle with the trailer hooked to the truck with the brakes locked on the truck. Anyhow, this lift kit was easy to install and did the job of raising the rear of the trailer from 14" to 18" after installation. Everything fit perfectly thanks to talking with Alex of etrailer.com and getting the right kit for my Dexter #10 Torflex axles. Attached are some pictures of before the install, during and after the install. I'm very satisfied. FYI the project goes a lot faster if you have an electric or pneumatic impact wrench to remove the old rusted mounting bolts and installing the new bolts.
Very heavy duty first off.
Installation was pretty straight forward.
I have a Winnebago mini drop, and this was the closest thing I could find to what I needed. Drilled a couple extra holes and that was it.
The difference of before and after is impressive! I also intend to run a larger diameter tire to get even more clearance.
Installed on a 2017 NuCamp Tag XL. Needed a little extra head room for the kitchen clamshell. Install was easy with basic tools, a couple jack stands, tape measure and some red loctite. Lift height is as claimed because it directly lifts the axle. Product has worked great, nothing has come loose or shifted. Stability towing has not changed. The only trouble is the wiring for the fender light is a little tight but that is a camper issue, no fault of the lift.
Customer service is impeccable and helpful. The length of the lift fit our mount but the wholes for two bolts didn’t line up. Our trailer has a Lippert Axle and we had to drill two holes to fit the bolts properly. I contacted Lippert and they no longer sell the lift kits. Aside from going to a shop and paying over $1k for someone to fabricate a solution for us; this is the route we chose.
Unfortunately the product isn't the problem, it's Etrailer's chosen shipping method and times. Everybody knows not to ship USPS if you want it on time. Well here I am 7 days later and no parts... Great, needed them before I leave in the morning. I guess I just have to go with a lopsided camper since etrailer and USPS can't deliver as promised. Could have had it in 2 days (last Tuesday) had I ordered through Amazon.
My pop-up is a Jayco 14.6 Tandem axle you couldn’t get under it at all this lift kit is excellent installs very easily put the unit up high enough you can reach under it… everything that I’ve purchased from Etrailer always top quality instructions are well written Good products
The wrong instructions were included in the package. Also the bag containing the nuts, bolts and washers gas torn open so I was concerned that all of the parts were there.
I think the lift kit is a very stout piece of hardware. I'll be installing it on Friday on an Airstream camper. Will give an update on how well it fits after the install. I gave 4 stars because the packaging could be better - almost lost some bolts or nuts. The delivery person had to tape it all up - must have fallen in travel and busted open.
The trailer is a Palomino Solaire 147x. Installation was straightforward. The lift in combination with taller wheels and tires accomplished the desired ride height.
Great product. Added height to the trailer to increase the height adjustability of the tongue to prevent hitting the top of the bed rails.
I got these for my 1998 Trail-et gooseneck 2 horse trailer after we upgraded from a 1994 truck to a 2023. The new truck is much taller so I needed to lift the trailer. This kit was perfect, all of the holes lined up perfectly and it gave me the height I needed. The hardest part was cutting the old bolts off the trailer.
This kit was extremely easy to install. Great color directions came with it. On our 2019 E-Pro 19BH travel trailer it was as simple as remove 4 factory bolts (2 per side), lower the axle a bit, place lift block, & install 4 new bolts per side. With this kit, new wheels, & tires we were able to gain 4 inches of lift for our camper. Our waste holding tank drain pipe & valves were so close to the ground & we constantly would drag pulling into or out of areas. This gives us great peace of mind & our camper looks amazing to us now.
Did not fit #10 Dexter axle.
Very easy to put on, took about 2 hrs. Make sure you order the correct sized one. Don't just go by the axle number measure the frame width and distance between the holes. Makes a big difference on what my camper can clear and the size of dips I can get thru without hitting. Get a few extra blocks for the stabilizer.
I ordered this kit in mid-May after seeing an email about it from a competitor site to etrailer.com. I ordered from the other site then got an email stating that the kit was on back order from Dexter until the end of June. I googled the Dexter part number and found that etrailer.com also sold it, and even better, etrailer was offering free freight and a slightly lower cost. Since the kit is heavy, free freight would save me about $40, so I cancelled the order with the first company and re-ordered from etrailer.com. I got an email from them as well about the extended back order but then, I also got a follow up call from them explaining the situation. The call was an extra added touch that I appreciated. Then, right at the end of May, I got an email stating that my Dexter kit had shipped, so I figured that etrailer.com must have put some pressure on Dexter to get off their butt and ship it! The kit itself was great, really well made parts, powder coated and heavy gauge. Honestly, I am surprised that they sell it for only $150. The install is tricky and will take you 6 hours if you are good with tools and like wrenching. Don't attempt this project on your own if you are not. Pay a trailer guy $400 to do it. You have to keep the axles aligned when you drop them...and the bolt placement is not great so you have to have hands that can fit in the tight cramped space and be able to get a wrench on the. Over all, I am very happy with the lift, it was a pretty simple and cost effective way for me to get better clearance for my Airtsream.....Airstreams are notoriously low and with the approach I have from my street to the driveway, I constantly battled dragging either the hitch or the rear. This kit solved that. I am super satisfied and highly recommend it if you are in the same situation as I was. Buy it from etrailer.com, they have the best customer service I have experienced when buying trailer and camping items on the internet.
Easy installation of these direct fit lift kits!
The lift kit was the exact right fit. Order and shipping were very timely. The installation instructions could use some better photos, but the install was easy.
Well, once installed this kit is great, no noticeable difference in towing, big noticible difference in clearance. Installation is another matter entirely. The kit needs to be engineered with the right bolts that don't turn when tightening the nuts. There is just no way to get a socket or wrench on them to hold while tightening to the prescribed torque. I had to weld little tabs on most of the bolts in order to make them work. This would be an easy fix in manufacturing but an absolute pain in the butt when installing. Just doesn't make any sense at all. If I were etrailer I'd tell Dexter to fix these or sell them somewhere else.
Prior to installing this kit, I was unable to remove my tires without first deflating them. The same went for reinstallation. The kit works perfect and was easy to install. I'd recommend it for anyone needing to raise their trailer.
Installed this kit on a 2017 Airstream Sport 16. We boondock a lot and the ground clearance was a problem. The 3" lift was a perfect solution to even out the ride height and give extra clearance in the back. The instructions are clear and I was able to do the entire project alone in just over 2 hours. The metal spacer fits precisely on to top of the axle, no adjustments were needed. I used 2 jack stands, 2 floor jacks, and an air gun which is a must or it would take twice as long. One of the jacks was used to hold the axle and to lift it up after the spacer is fitted. The lift kit is very good quality (besides the paint) and I feel confident it will last. Easy with the right tools!
The shipping was very fast and customer support is excellent, I have not installed the lift kit yet but am assuming the fit will be good as well.
Though I have not yet installed the Lift Kit, previous reviews confirm they will work well on my Escape 5.0 TA fifth wheel. Being in Canada and hearing about the poor condition of packages and product being delivered, I had some concerns. However not only did the package arrive sooner than expected, it was fully intact and in good condition. My overall experience with eTrailer has been flawless - thank you!
