Question:

I have a wildwood 2018 by forest river that is now undeveloped due to the trail air pin box I bought from you. I want to use this kit but my springs are already over my axel—-will this lift kit be useless for me, also thinking about taller tires. I have 225/75/15 Chinese junk that I want to replace but want a tire 1 inch taller, any recommendations?

Expert Reply:

Since your springs are already over your axle you would not be able to use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00.

There are also not tires which are an inch larger in diameter than your 225/75/15; you would need to get both larger wheels and tires such as the Provider # TA59VR which are 235/80R16 tires on a 16 inch wheel; you must have a wheel bolt pattern of 6 on 5-1/2" to use this or other larger wheels. If you are uncertain of how to find your wheel bolt pattern you can take a look at the help article I linked which explains how to determine wheel bolt pattern.
