Unfortunately, we do not have a product by itself to relocate the sewer dump. However, you might be able raise the level of your trailer to gain more ground clearance.

Installing an Over-Under Conversion Kit, # K71-384-00 or # K71-385-00, can give you more ground clearance under your trailer. The kits will work if your trailer axles have the leaf springs located on the bottom of the axle.

These kits come in two sizes, the # K71-384-000 will fit a 2-3/8 inch axle tube and the # K71-385-000 will fit a 3 inch axle tube. The kit allows you to relocate the leaf springs to mount on top of the trailer axles. This relocation will raise your trailer height by the thickness of the of the leaf spring and the diameter of the axle. So, if you have a 3 inch axles and the leaf springs are 2 inches think, then the raise your trailer height by 5 inches.

The kits will need to be welded in place during installation and it is recommend the that installation be done by a certified welder.

If you have the clearance, you could install taller tires on your axle. The taller tires will increase the clearance.
