If you have a 3 inch axle and double-eye springs all you would need to give your travel trailer about a 3 inch lift would be the Dexter Over Under kit part # K71-385-00. If you have a 2-3/8 inch axle you would need the part # K71-384-00.

Each kit comes with everything needed to flip one axle. If you have a tandem axle trailer you would need a quantity of 2 kits.

I attached a picture that shows what an over under kit does.

When lifting your trailer you need to keep in mind that the geometry of the trailer will change. You may encounter lower or heavier tongue weight, and/or the trailer may become top heavy, contributing to trailer sway and instability, especially when passing large trucks or in high winds. In these situations, it may require you to go with a weight distribution system with sway control, if you are not already using one. I have provided a video and a link to weight distributions systems for you to review.

If you have slipper springs you will need to look into taller hangers.
