The distance from the center of the uppermost bolt hole where it attaches to the leaf spring hanger to the center of the two bolt holes which attach to the left springs on the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers part # LC279688 is 4". If this distance is different on the equalizers you have on your trailer now then in theory it could raise or lower the trailer. However, this is not always the case and even if it was different, that does not mean it will raise or lower the trailer equal to the difference. The reason for this is that the shackle straps will most likely just adjust to even out the difference. In short, yes it could raise the trailer but not really noticeably.

I have attached a photo with the dimensions of the above for you. If you are trying to raise your trailer please let me know what axles (capacity) you have and how the leaf spring are oriented (over/under) and I would be happy to provide additional options.
