Recommended Lift Kit For 2013 Dutchmen Komfort 5th Wheel Trailer
Question:
Need to raise my trailer to match the truck and have been looking at different ways. What size is the alignment pin on my trailer leaf springs? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The locating pin in trailer leaf springs are roughly 1/2", and are a standard size between different brands of springs.
To lift your trailer with leaf springs the best way is an over-under kit which moves your axle from above the leaf springs, to below which lifts the trailer by the diameter of the axle plus the height of the leaf spring stack.
We offer a few kits depending on the diameter of your axle tube. If you have a 2-3/8" diameter axle you will need the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 and for a 3" diameter axle you will need # K71-385-00 instead.
Both kits include new spring seats, U-bolts, and U-bolt plates. The new spring seats will need to be welded to the axle by a qualified welder.
I went ahead and included video reviews for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
