Expert Reply:
The kits we offer are designed for either a 2-3/8 inch round axle, part # K71-384-00, or for a 3-inch axle, part # K71-385-00, so they would not be a good match for your 1-3/4 inch trailer axle.
You can many times raise the height of the trailer by using longer spring hangers. Adding longer hangers will increase the height of the rear of your trailer, but it may not add enough height to allow you to tow your trailer level. You need to know the width and type leaf springs you are using.
The original hangers will need to be cut off and the new hangers welded in place. This should be done by a professional Raising the trailer will change the geometry of the trailer and you may have more sway when towing.
