If you have already moved your trailer axle so that it sits below your leaf springs and you will still have 3" - 4" to go even after adjusting your 5th wheel hitch and pin box the most they can be adjusted then the only thing to do is swap out your hangers. You will need to have a professional welder cut off your current hangers and then you can use taller hangers like the Redline part # E4139 which is 4-1/4" tall.

I have linked our selection of leaf spring hangers for you to filter through if the 4-1/4" hangers do not match your needs.
