We have lift kits for trailer that easily add 2 inches to the height of the trailer. For that you'd want the part # RR23QX and you'd be set. I attached a picture that shows how it installs to give you an idea. This would be the easiest solution to your situation.

Yes, the lift kit I mentioned is a better idea that adding blocks between your leaf springs and axles. Adding length there puts more stress on the leaf springs which may not be an issue in the short term but over time would wear the springs out quicker.

I have already done this with my 5th wheel. Is there another solution to add height the correct way? My truck is a 3500 ram.annd only has a leveling kit and 1 1/2” taller tires. Nothing excessive but the front of the trailer still rides a little high. And there is only about 4- 5” of room to bed rail Thoughts? Thanks, Ed

Hello Roy, thanks for reaching out. We do have the 225/75-15 tires but nothing G rated. Our highest rating in that size would be the E range tires you have now. So we would not have a good tire upgrade option for you. As far as the blowouts, are you…

Answer 7

I have two options for you to raise your trailer and gain more clearance between the fender and tire. The most cost effective option would be to flip the axles with a Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Kit part #K71-384-00 or part #K71-385-00. That…

Trailer leaf springs can grow longer after many years of use. A new springs that measures 25-1/4-inches long like #e57SR could easily measure 25-1/2-inches after years in service on a trailer. Springs can lengthen as much as 3/4 of an inch. If your…

Answer 12

The inner diameters of the LM67048 and 15123 both are the same (1.250 inches). That means that a hub with either bearing in the outer bearing would fit your spindle. The part #AKHD-655-6-EZ-K would fit your axle.
