Over Under Axle Kit Recommendation for Trailer to Give More Height Availability
Question:
Have slipper springs 27inch long by 2inch wide on my car trailer was wondering if I could use a stronger spring that is shorter to raise my trailer a couple inches. Also need a spring flip kit for the same trailer any help would be grateful thanks

Expert Reply:
The diameter of your trailer axle will determine the size of the parts that you will need to order. If your axle is 3 inches diameter, the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit, # K71-385-00, would be a great choice and if your axle is 2-3/8 inch diameter you could use the Over-Under Kit, # K71-384-00. These kits can be installed without welding but the manufacturer strongly recommends having the new spring seat tacked in place on the other side of the trailer axle.
Going with a shorter spring won't really give you an additional height but an over under kit will give you a few additional inches.
