Question:
I have this Dexter Axle 05-AX106IS-04 on my cargo trailer. It has a 4 inch . I wanting to add a straight axel with springs to help lift it some. I feel the axle and springs are to low to the ground. Do you have any recommendations for me that would fit my cargo trailer? Thank you

Hi James; is that a 4" drop or lift you're referring to? Or something else? It looks like it was cut off so I'm not sure. Also, I can't identify your current axle without the S/N from the tag. If you can get me that information and add it below in the comments I will be able to find the capacity as well as the length.
If it already has a lift the only option we have that might get you the extra clearance is the Timbren Axle-Less like the # ASR3500S06. This system would replace the leaf springs and axle. This particular model is designed to replace a 3,500 lb axle and fits any frame width. It may require an additional support which would be like a straight axle and still give you some additional clearance.
