Raising the Height of a Trailer with a 2-3/8 Inch Diameter Round Axle

Question:

I need to lift my trailer and need some longer u-bolts than the stock 5.5. I am looking for 1/2x2 3/8x6 1/2 Do you folks have anything similar? Thanks.

The longest u-bolts we have for a 2-3/8 inch diameter round axle are going to be 5-1/2 inches long, # APUBR-1. But I have another solution that may work for you to be able to raise the height of the trailer.

You may be able to use an over/under conversion kit if:

The trailer leaf spring stack is currently mounted under the axles
The trailer uses double-eye springs
And the trailer has 2-3/8 inch diameter round axle

For a 2-3/8 inch round axle use # K71-384-00.

If you cannot use an over/under conversion kit then the only other way to raise the height of the trailer is to have the old suspension hangers cut off and new, taller ones welded on by a qualified professional welder. I have included a link to the hanger main page for you.
