Hi Marc,

You need an over under conversion kit to raise your 2007 Arctic Fox 27.5L if your leaf springs are currently mounted underneath the axles. One thing I want to point out is that these kits will not give you exactly 2 inches of lift. Moving the springs above the axles typically raises the trailer by roughly the diameter of the axle tube plus the thickness of the leaf spring pack, so I would want to account for that before making the change.

The right kit will depend on the axle diameter and suspension that are actually under your Arctic Fox. If you have 3 inch round axles with double eye leaf springs, the Dexter Over Under Conversion Kit part # K71-385-00 would be the option to look at. If your axles measure 2 3/8 inches in diameter and you have double eye leaf springs, you would use the Dexter part # K71-384-00 instead. Since I cannot confirm your original axle setup from the model and year alone, I would measure the axle tube diameter and make sure the leaf springs are currently below the axles before ordering. That way we can get you the right amount of clearance without creating another leveling headache.

Why are you looking at options to raise the trailer if you don't mind me asking?
