Raising the Height of a Carry On Utility Trailer with 1-3/4 Inch 2,000 Pound Axle
Updated 02/18/2013 | Published 02/14/2013
Question:
I have a small 5x8 utility trailer made by Carry On Trailers. It has a 2000lbs axle and the diameter is 1 3/4. Is there a spring over axle conversion kit to fit my needs.

Helpful Expert Reply:
We only have over-under kits for 3 inch and 2-3/8 inch axles but nothing for a 1-3/4 inch axle. What you could do is get longer hangers. However, because suspension is meant to travel up and down adding hangers that are 2 inches longer for example does not mean you get 2 inches more height. Keep in mind that by increasing the height of the trailer you make it more susceptible to sway since the center of gravity is changing.
If you need more height because the ball mount is too high then the bet thing to do is get a ball mount with more drop. I have included a link to an FAQ article on how to measure to get the correct ball mount.
