How Much Trailer Height is Typically Gained by Installing Axle Over Under Kit

Question:

I have a 14000# gooseneck trailer that has a dove tail which drags the ground constantly. I have adjusted the neck as far as I can to keep the Tail from dragging but its no where high enough. Will the Spring Over Axle kit work on such a trailer? How much height should I expect to gain on the trailer dove tail? Thanks

Over under kits can basically be installed on any axle as long as the axle diameter matches what the kit is designed for. The part # K71-385-00 would work if the axles on your trailer were 3 inches in diameter.

Since your trailer weighs 14,000 lbs you most likely have bigger axles though. If you wanted to measure your axles and then email me back with that dimension. Typically the additional height you gain is the diameter of the axle plus the thickness of the leaf springs.
