Question:
Would this hanger act as a 2 inch lift block? I am looking to lift my trailer 2 inches for ground clearance purposes. I have a 2002 keystone travel trailer that sits low I just need a 2 inch lift on it but do not want to do anything to crazy.

The Hanger part # 115918 is going to lift your trailer, how much depends on the hangers that you currently have on the trailer. The difference between the height of your current hangers and these will be how much lift you get on the Keystone. We do carry taller hangers like part # E4139 that measures 4-1/4" tall.
Another option for a lift is an over-under kit like part # K71-384-00 for a 2-3/8" axle or part # K71-385-00 for a 3" axle. You are basically moving the springs to on top of the axle instead of underneath to increase ground clearance. You may hear some people referring to this as "flipping the axle". Both kits will only work on trailers that are using double-eye spring suspension and it is recommended to tack weld the new spring seats to the axle.
