Should I Use Leaf Spring Spacers Lift Blocks on a Trailer to Raise It
Question:
I need to lift this trailer do you have any leaf spring spacer for this Thank you
asked by: Jose
Expert Reply:
I do not recommend using a leaf spring spacer (lift block) on your trailer. The reason for this is because they can cause the trailer to become extremely bouncy and rough which is just going to put more stress on your suspension and wear out the trailer faster. Instead, I recommend using an axle flip kit so long as your axle is over the leaf spring pack. If so then you can use part # K71-384-00 if you have a 2-3/8" diameter axle or part # K71-385-00 if you have a 3" diameter axle. This kit will lift the trailer equal to the diameter of the axle and height of the leaf spring pack.

Trying to lift a fifth wheel that axles are already below spring from factory. All your articles direct to use the over/under kit but what about axles already below springs. Need about three to four inches of height with new truck. Thanks
