We have a couple kits that could work for you.

The diameter of your trailer axle will determine the size of the parts that you will need to order. If your axle is 3 inches diameter, the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit, # K71-385-00, would be a great choice and if your axle is 2-3/8 inch diameter you could use the Over-Under Kit, # K71-384-00. These kits can be installed without welding but the manufacturer strongly recommends having the new spring seat tacked in place on the other side of the trailer axle.

Some refer to this process as "flipping the axles," but since axle has a slight bow to it you can't just flip them and reinstall them under the springs using the same spring seats. You have to install new spring seats on the opposite side of the axle so that it can be moved below the spring.

So i am looking into "flipping" the axles on my pop-up camper, but i am pretty sure the axle is smaller than the 2 3/8 listed. Is there another kit or will this one work also?

Unfortunately we don't have an Over Under Conversion Kit available that will work with axle diameters smaller than 2-3/8". I would try and verify what size the axle is - if you can measure this let me know and I will try and find an alternate solution.
