Hey Alex thanks for the information! To lift your 2020 Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro 19FD trailer you'll need the Torflex Lift Kit item # K71-707-01. This kit will provide you with a 2-5/8" lift.

The lifting blocks item # K71-707-01 will bolt directly to the top of your axle and the bottom of your Geo Pro's frame with the included hardware.

What kind of roads are you traveling on that has you needing to raise the height of your trailer? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

The reason I want to add the lift kit is hopefully to resolve an issue when we use ferries in Atlantic Canada. We regularly take the ferries from East Ferry, Nova Scotia to Tiverton, Nova Scotia. Depending on tides (low tide), the rear of the trailer will drag on the ferry deck. Hopefully, the lift kit will prevent this, and help protect the stabilizers

@AlexE Right on! That's definitely something I have not heard of being an issue but it makes complete sense. Not many ferries in Missouri. The Torflex Lift Kit item # K71-707-01 will give you a 2-5/8" lift. If that's not enough we can look into adding some larger tires. What kind of ball mount are you using? That lift is definitely going to throw off your current coupler ball mount being level.

This went on with a few minor difficulties. We took the tire an wheel off one side at a time. It lift goes in ok it just takes a few minutes to unbolt spring to add this to the leaf spring area. We done one side then the other. Takin off tire a wheels. A big problem was getting trailer jacked as it is so low to the ground. All my original bolts a nuts came off after we sprayed all areas with bolt rust spray.I did get my neighbor to help me. It sure made things go smoother. Once the lift is installed the trailer sits so much better being a couple of inches higher. No more drag. Well worth the time..It rides so much better behind my Silverado. It really isn’t to top heavy either. All parts are included. It reminds me of the lift kits that were used in the 70-80’s. Use an impact or strong arm wrench an socket. Makes it a lot easier.

This went on very easy. Have a 6x10 utility. Wanted to get a little lift because use it to off grid camp. Really helped with clearance issues and has help up really well for the miles and "use and abuse" it has seen.

I was very happy with the lift kit.It was a fairly simple DIY install that took a couple hrs. The kit gave my trailer the extra lift I needed to set it level with my Jeep. It didn't affect the ride.or handling of my trailer.

@EdM That's great to hear Ed! Glad the lift kit was able to get you to level and you're trailer is still handling the same. Thanks for taking the time to come back and share that feedback with us.
