Question:
I have 7k axles on my 5th wheel. I would like to install 8k 7 leaf springs to give me more height when coupled to my lifted Ram. I really dont want to replace the hangers. Would this give me an inch or so of lift? Greg

Expert Reply:
Hi Greg; leaf springs aren't typically used to raise a trailer. However, if the # EM28AJ matches your current leaf spring measurements, and your current leaf springs are 3-leaf, and the leaf springs are sitting on top of the axle, that would push you up by 1" with the 1/4" leaf thickness.
Assuming this is a tandem axle trailer the other option would be to add the Correct Track # RR55QX. This kit extends your hangers so you don't have to cut them off and weld on new ones for a lift. You can raise the trailer height by 1-1/4" or 2-1/4".

Yes it's a tandem axle. Your link is a triple axle.
