Over Under Axle Kit for Dexter 3,500 lb Axle
Question:
This is the second time I have made this request for information. I have a Forest River Coachman Clipper 17FQ that has a Lippert 3500lb axle and rides on 13inch load range D tires, I want to change to change to more readily available 14inch tires but do not have enough clearance for them with the spring under setup. Will this kit work to flip a Lippert axle and make enough clearance so I can use 205-14s?

Helpful Expert Reply:
A 3,500 lb Dexter axle will have a 2-3/8 inch diameter. The Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00 is designed to work on this axle diameter so it should work just fine to give you additional lift on your trailer for larger tire/rim clearance. This should give you a lift that is 2-3/8 inches plus the thickness of your trailer leaf springs tall. I would think you would have more than enough clearance to go to a 14 inch trailer rim.
