Question:

Have slipper springs 27inch long by 2inch wide on my car trailer was wondering if I could use a stronger spring that is shorter to raise my trailer a couple inches. Also need a spring flip kit for the same trailer any help would be grateful thanks

The diameter of your trailer axle will determine the size of the parts that you will need to order. If your axle is 3 inches diameter, the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit, # K71-385-00, would be a great choice and if your axle is 2-3/8 inch diameter you could use the Over-Under Kit, # K71-384-00. These kits can be installed without welding but the manufacturer strongly recommends having the new spring seat tacked in place on the other side of the trailer axle.

Going with a shorter spring won't really give you an additional height but an over under kit will give you a few additional inches.
