Expert Reply:

We have two axle over-under kits that allow raising a trailer's height by reversing the positions of the leaf spring stack and axle. Kit # K71-384-00 works for a 2-3/8-inch diameter axle and kit # K71-385-00 works with 3-inch diameter axles. Unfortunately we do not have a kit for a 1-3/4-inch diameter axle.

If you're looking to increase deck height with your Carry On trailer that has a 2K axle you have another option.

Timbren offers axle-less suspension kits that completely eliminate the need for an axle beam under the trailer. Kit # ASR2KHDS04 is rated for 2000-lbs and it has 4-inches of lift in its spindles. This axle-less suspension will lift the trailer deck height 4-inches and also provide better ground clearance since there is no longer a leaf spring suspension under the trailer. With this kit you can use either idler hub kit # 84545UC1-EZ (no brake drums or brake assemblies) or hub/drum kit # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K (if you want drums so you can add electric drum brakes).
