Expert Reply:
It is super easy for you to determine what over/under conversion kit you need for your trailer by taking a measurement. I was unable to find any specifics about the axles on your trailer and all you need to know is their diameter. This information may be in the paperwork that came with your trailer, or you can simply use a tape measure or digital caliper such as the 4" Carbon Fiber Digital Caliper # PTW80157.
If you have a 2-3/8 inch round (2.375 inch) axle you would need Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 or if you have a 3 inch round axle you would need Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00.
These kits move your trailer's leaf springs to the top of your axle and lift your trailer approximately the same amount as your axle's diameter plus the height of the leaf spring pack (please keep in mind this conversion kit is for use with double-eye springs only).
