Expert Reply:

There are limited ways to add height to a trailer, especially the amount you are looking for. This is especially true because you have already flipped the axles on your Keystone Hornet. The only other way you can gain height is to cut off your current hangers and have longer ones professionally welded on and the longest we carry are the Front/Center/Rear Hanger for Double-Eye Springs - 4-1/4" Tall # E4139 and the Center Hanger for Double-Eye Springs - 5-7/16" Tall # 115919.

I have added links to video reviews of both hangers for you to take a look at.
