Question:

I have a travel trailer with a tandem axle. I want to lift the trailer, but no more than 3. If I do an axle flip, the only thing I seem to find online, then I will raise the camper nearly 6. Is there any product out there to help me? I was hoping for something to leave the leaf springs where they are and lift the frame away from them.

Expert Reply:

There are lift kits for trailers, but only for those that have torsion axles. The Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02, will lift your frame by 2-7/8" but is only compatible with #11 Torflex tandem axles with capacities between 4,100 lbs and 6,000 lbs.

If you do not have a torsion axle and did not want to flip the axle by using a conversion kit such as the Dexter # K71-384-00, you best bet may be to have a qualified welder remove your current hangers and replace them with taller ones. I have added a link to our page with each of our hangers on it.
