Question:

Is there a lift kit I can install on my 23B? I have seen some people talk about a 2inch lift kit to give you more clearance and the ability to run bigger tires.

We do have a great option for lifting a trailer like yours by moving the axles below the leaf springs if it is equipped with leaf springs.

Another option you have would be to lift the trailer. You can do this by moving the axles from being above the leaf springs to below the leaf springs.

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.

You probably have a Dexter Axle Torflex axle system that uses torsion arms instead of leaf springs. I'm attaching a link to our selection of lift kits for this style of axle but you'll want to confirm on the axle sticker or trailer info that's what you have. Our lift kits are specific to the Torflex axle number as well so you'll want to note what you have and make sure that it matches.
