How to Lift Trailer When Trailer Already has Springs Over the Axles
Question:
I have a 2010 Keystone Cougar RK27 5th wheel with a Reese Sidewinder for my stock Ford F250. the sidewinder is bolted to its lowest point on the pin box and my Husky 16k slider hitch is bolted all the way down. It still is at an angle when hitched. What options do i have to raise the suspension maybe 1.5 or 2.0 inches. It already has springs over axle.

Expert Reply:
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.
You will need to go with hangers that are 1.50-2 inches taller than what you currently have on your trailer.
