Hey Marty, thanks for reaching out. Yes, we do carry an over-under kit for a 2-3/8" diameter axle. For that you can use the following:

- Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00

This will lift the trailer the diameter of the axle (2-3/8") plus the thickness of the leaf spring pack. Not sure exactly which leaf springs you have but that usually ends up being about 3" or 3-1/4" of total lift.

Do you think that amount of lift will solve your clearance issue? What kind of trailer do you have?

Hey Martin, I bought the over-under conversion kit from e-trailer, took it to a local trailer place and had them do the cut/re-weld/move the shocks and it worked great to accomodate the next tire size up on my old fifth wheel camper. I didn't own the camper to actually use it after the work because it sold right away after the work was done. I can just say that I was happy to find out about the solution because there are a lot of places in Colorado that need a higher camper, and with a truck that was a little bit higher than typical (a stock Ford 3/4 ton, no additional lift) the back of the trailer was riding pretty low and the lift on the trailerand bigger tires made the rig ride level, like it should.
