Hello Dave, thanks for reaching out. We do have a conversion kit for this. You can use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00. This kit is designed to move the spring pack from the bottom to the top of the axle, but it can also be used for the opposite purpose which is what you are doing. This will lower the deck height 3" plus the thickness of your spring pack.
