Question:
Hi, I have a 2024 carry on utility trailer model 5X8GW2K, link below. I want to raise the height and add 13 inch wheels which over under kit do I need and which wheels/tires.

Hi Mo; they list the 2024 Carry-On Trailer 5X8GW2K as having a 2k axle so you will have to piece a kit together. The standard Dexter kits start with 3,500 lb axles that have a 2-3/8" diameter. More than likely your axle has a 1-3/4" diameter. Make sure to measure and verify this.
You will need the U-Bolt Kit # APUBR-10 and two of the Spring Seat for Typical 2,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles # TRSS175 to make your own axle flip kit. This will require welding so we recommend taking it to a certified welder for installation.
For replacement wheels and tires you will need to match the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern on their now. I recommend the Kenda Karrier KR53 ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Black Mod Wheel # KE95EV. This has the same look as the original wheels and will upgrade you to radial tires with a higher load rating.
What will you be hauling once you lift your trailer and upgrade the tires?
