Question:

I have a 2017 Jayco Pinnacle. My truck is a 201 Ram dually with rear airbags. When hooked up the trailor rides to low in the rear. It has Mooreride susp. I know I can block it that does not seem safe. What about airbags for lift or flipping the axels. Most of the weight rides on the back two tires. They are not going to last long.

Helpful Expert Reply:

The diameter of your trailer axle will determine the size of the parts that you will need to order which will give you the additional lift you need. 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.

Some refer to this process as "flipping the axles," but since axle has a slight bow to it you can't just flip them and reinstall them under the springs using the same spring seats. You have to install new spring seats on the opposite side of the axle so that it can be moved below the spring.
