Expert Reply:

To raise your travel trailer about 3 inches, your best option is to use an over under kit like # K71-384-00 for 2-3/8 inch diameter axle or # K71-385-00 for a 3 inch axle. These kits will convert your axle and suspension so the axle will be under the leaf springs so it will raise your trailer the diameter of your axle plus the height of your leaf spring stack.

Another option is the Lippert Components Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade - Tandem Axle # LC1565391 which will lift your trailer 2 inches when installed and will give you a smoother ride.

The only other option is to replace your current hangers with taller ones like # 115919 which need to be welded in place.
