Question:

Does this change the ride height like the SRE 4000. I like the looks of this system better but I would like a little bit of lift so I can lower my pin box for more clearance on the truck box.

There is a way to add a little bit of lift to your trailer and use the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit # K71-653-00, though the kit itself will not add any lift, it will simply enhance the ride of your trailer with its cushioned equalizers.

To add lift to your trailer you will need is an over/under conversion kit, which moves your trailer's leaf springs to the top of your axle and lifts your trailer approximately the same amount as your axle's diameter plus the height of the leaf spring pack.

For a 2-3/8" round axle you need the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 or if you have a 3" round axle you will need Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00.

If you take a look at the accompanying photo that a customer sent in you can see how the over/under kit will look when installed and exactly why it will add some lift. I have also attached links to video reviews of both kits as well as the E-Z Flex for you to check out.
