Nope! The beauty of the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 is that you're simply moving the axle below the leaf spring and you don't have to grind off or weld anything on. I have attached the installation instructions and a photo of the finished product where you can see the original spring seat still in place on the axle.

I have been looking at the over/under kits. I need to level my camper as I just bought a 2020 ram 2500 4x4 and my camper is not level. I lowered my hitch in my truck. I raised my king pin box as high as possible and I still need clearance. My springs already sit on top my axle. I have a 2015 forest river Sierra select 301ok. Please help!
