Can Over-Under Conversion Kit be Used on Trailer with Plates Welded to Axle
Published 11/09/2018
Question:
See photos. My trailer has plates welded to the axle. Can I use this product to gain the clearance? Will these plates get in the way or does the kit work with those? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
As long as the axle on your trailer features a 2-3/8 inch diameter the Dexter Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 referenced in your question will work perfectly to gain more clearance on your trailer. The kit will raise the trailer by the height of the axle and leaf spring stack.
The welded pieces on your axle are simply referred to as spring seats and they won't cause a problem at all. The new kit actually provides a new set of spring seats that will need to be tack welded to the axle. I have attached the complete installation instructions that you can also take a look at.
