Question:

I have a new Wildwood x-lite 263bhxl with Lippert Axles part number V000163633 3500lbs. I want to do an axle under spring conversion to gain some ground clearance but I dont know the correct spring seats to look for.

To move the leaf springs on your Wildwood X-Lite 263BHXL to the top of the axle I recommend the Dexter Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00. This particular kit is designed for 2-3/8 inch round axles which is the standard size for 3,500 axles like what you have, although I do still recommend taking a quick measurement just to be sure. This kit includes the needed spring seats so you don't have to obtain them elsewhere along with the required nuts, U-bolts, and tie plates to make this conversion.

Curt does recommend having the included spring seats tack welded to the axle.

I have attached the written installation instructions along with a short video review that you can check out as well.
