Expert Reply:

Installing the Triangular Equalizer # TREQ310, shown in the linked diagram, will not lift your trailer but we do have axle over-under kits that will.

We have kit # K71-384-00 for 2-3/8-inch diameter axles and kit # K71-385-00 for 3-inch axles. These bolt on kits will raise the height of the trailer by several inches by moving the spring to the top of the axle. The exact height gain will be the sum of the axle diameter plus the height of the leaf spring stack. So, for example, kit # K71-385-00 for 3-inch axles if installed on a suspension that has 2-inch tall leaf springs will lift the trailer by 5-inches.

You can refer to the linked photo to see this kit installed.
