Question:
Hello I want to change my trailer leaf springs from under the axle to over I see you have a conversion kit for that for a round axle application I have square axles do you have a kit for square axles or is it needed.thanks
asked by: Mark
Expert Reply:
The over under conversion kits like item # K71-384-00 you referenced only work on round axles. To lift your square axle trailer, I recommend replacing the leaf spring hangers with longer ones. The Tandem-Axle Trailer Hangers for 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Tall Front item # H248 would be a great option. You will want to measure the length of your current hangers and then check out the link I attached that has all of our hangers. Once you decide how much of a lift you are looking for you will just need to find the corresponding hangers.
