Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, going from a 4 leaf to a 6 leaf spring would add slightly to your ride height. For example, if the current 4 leaf spring has 3/8" thick leaves, and you go to a 6 leaf spring with 3/8" thick leaves, you would be adding 3/4" of height to the trailer.

Curb side tandem makes contact with bottom of travel trailer (both tires). Sitting on level ground curb side is lower over tires than road side tire clearance. I am installing MORryde 3000, road master comfort ride shock absorbers and sumo springs on whole trailer. I need to lift the curb side by 2 inches. Will this help or do l need a lift kit or spacer on curb side?
