Hello Nathan, thanks for reaching out. We may have a lift kit that will work for you, but there is no way to look up your camper online to find out exactly what kit you would need. RV manufacturers just are not that specific with their online literature.

Basically I will just need to know what kind of axles/suspension system you have, and the weight capacity of your axle. There should be a sticker on the axle that shows the weight capacity. Then just check if you have a torsion axle, or a round-tube leaf spring axle.

Get me that info when you can. Just reply on this page and I am happy to look into it and see what we have for you.

The camper has a lippert 3500 lb axle with serial number SO12964142. It is a single axle round tube leaf spring setup.

@Nathan Great! So there are two potential options here. The easiest would be the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00. This will only work on campers where the leaf spring pack is positioned underneath the axle. This flips the leaf spring pack to the top of the axle, lifting the camper 2-3/8" plus the thickness of your spring pack. The other option is the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit - Single Axle # LC87120. This raises the trailer by either 1-1/4" or 2-1/4" depending which set of holes you use.

Answer 1

Thank you for the picture of the tag on your axle! I was able to use that when I reached out to my contact at Lippert who confirmed that the correct lift kit for the axle on your 2018 KZ Sportsmen Classic 130RB is part #LC425750.

The SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs part #TSS-107-40 will be installed unloaded with a greater distance than normal between the leaf springs and frame. The springs will then compress when you lower the trailer on them. Therefore, there doesn't…

It really depends on what is referring to when you say the spring is bad. If you are meaning the leaf spring on the trailer is worn out and is now flat, you can have issues with the trailer bouncing due to the spring no longer being a spring, and…

The torque requirements for leaf spring u-bolts depend on the diameter of the u-bolts that are being used. If the gross weight of your tandem axle trailer is 7,000 lbs, then you likely have two 3,500 lb axles. Typically 1/2 inch diameter u-bolts are…

You will need the U-Bolt Kit item #APUBR-1 to use the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 27" Long item #SP-210275. The kit uses 1/2 inch diameter nuts that you will want to torque them down to about 70 foot pounds.

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Hi Paul, you’re definitely on the right track here, and I can help you narrow this down with confidence. With your tandem 3,500 lb Dexter axles and 33 inch spacing, both the Dexter EZ Flex part #K71-652-00 and the Lippert Road Armor part #LC53CK are…

Answer 8

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…

Hey Ian, great to hear from you again! The differences between the MORryde CRE3000 #MR87ZR and AllTrek 4000 #MR89DR that fit a 33" wheelbase is the height between the hanger and equalizer bolts, and the amount of travel the suspension style will…

Answer 10

We have lift kits for trailer that easily add 2 inches to the height of the trailer. For that you'd want the part #RR23QX and you'd be set. I attached a picture that shows how it installs to give you an idea. This would be the easiest…
