Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit
Great kit! Installed this on my 1995 Jayco Fifth Wheel and it really improved the ride height with my truck. It’s been on 2 round trips from Texas to Montana since and many other trips locally with no issues.
Our trailer was so low...that it could not make it up a low curb and some driveways - especially when fully loaded. Went with the Dexter axle flip kit. The Dexter bracket and base plate pieces are worth the extra $20-$30 compared to other similar kits - they make fitment easier, eliminate any guesswork on placement, and decrease installation time because of it. Took 2-3 relaxed pace hours for us to do single axle install. Tools required were ratchet/wrench set (13/16 deep socket worked for us for most of the bolts), cheater bar (for working those rusty bolts off), drill, angle grinder (cutter disc for oem u-bolts and leaf spring bolts that are rusted or welded in place, stripper disc for cleaning area around new bracket for welding) welder, floor jack and jack stands. We had to remove the leaf springs, as the wheel mount brackets would not fit through the openings. Was hoping we wouldn’t have to, but it was pretty simple to do. We jacked the trailer up. Removed the wheels. Removed the axle. Cleaned the axle area where new brackets go. Set the height and placement of the new Dexter brackets. We left the OEM brackets on the axle and placed the Dexter ones in the exact same position 180 degrees on the other side. Welded them on. Reinstalled leaf springs. Reinstalled axle, reinstalled wheels. Then voila! We added 6 full inches of height. Super awesome.

Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit for Single Axle Trailers - Double Eye Springs
The Morryde tandem kit and the Genuine Dexter single axle kit appear to be quality material, the shackle straps are massive compared to the 1/8” original mild steel straps, and so far have been easy to install. I did this upgrade on a trailer with a GVWR of only 8500# and 3500#, respectively, but if you have a heavier trailer I think you would be a fool to not buy these kits and have the reassurance that your suspension is not the weakest point on your trailer. You only need basic tools to do it, but if you’re short on time, buy the kit and have a shop install it for you. I also bought the Lippert Road armor and have a Shocker equalizer hitch and now you can’t tell there’s a trailer hooked up to me. If your back hurts like mine did after hours of towing because your wife is stuck on her phone or napping, spend the money on these upgrades.
Great upgrade for my Dexter axle. My old hangers were toast and of much lesser quality. I have about 40,000 miles on the old set.

SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket - Single Axle - 5K to 8K - Overslung
Very easy to install plan taking big trip in a few months can’t wait to see how they handle. Update to follow.
Only 4 stars since I have only used them on one RV trip so far. I installed these in conjunction with an equalizer upgrade (Morryde SRE 4000) on my 2019 Grand Design Reflection TT. For the one trip I have been on, I liked how these helped cushion the ride of the trailer. I would certainly buy them again.

Front/Center/Rear Hanger for Double-Eye Springs - 4-1/4" Tall - 9/16" Bolt Hole
These were purchased to assist with raising a dual-axle travel trailer. They arrived well packaged, and looked to be well made.They took readily to welding, so there was no issue with inferior material. The attached images show them being welded side-by-side to the frame rail extensions, then the entire assembly attached to the main frame.
My order was supposed to arrive on Saturday by Monday evening I had not received it I called the lady was very apologetic and said she would research it. She took care of everything and it was here. They were very helpful .!! the part was exactly what I needed Would definitely recommend them for their personnel and their follow up

Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System Light-Duty Trailers 1,000 lbs
Product is as described, installation was easy & performed as expected.
I ordered these to help reduce the rolling (tilting) of my 18' travel trailer that I use off-road. Also, I am hoping it will absorb some of the shock. I have added some photos of before and after installation. The installation was simple, I used 5/16" sheet metal screws instead of the bolts supplied. Time will tell if they work as expected. As you can see from the photos, I have previously added an Etrailers shock mount kit to my axle. I made custom lower mounts that I welded to the axle and used the supplied upper mounts.

Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb (3") Overslung Axle
I replaced the shackles, leaf springs and shocks on my fifth wheel. Man what a difference!
Well built product installation went well. Good I strong magnets very useful for marking of upper shock tower. And a angle indicator very helpful in alignment with spring base plate. Front axle spring angle is 35 deg. Rear axle spring angle is 30 deg. This was mounted on a 5th wheel toyhauler
