Lifting a 2017 Pacific Coachworks 16 Foot Econ Rear Bath Travel Traveler
Question:
I have a 2017 Pacific Coachworks 16 Foot Econ Rear Bath Travel Trailer that I would like to lift 3 or 4 inches up. It drags going in and out driveways and I am so concerned that I will damage the drain pipe connection on the rear corner of the trailer going out a driveway. How can I raise the trailer safety. Thank you for you help.

Expert Reply:
To lift a trailer 3 or 4 inches you'll need an over-under conversion kit. This moves the leaf springs above the axle, often referred to as flipping the axles even though you aren't actually doing so. Trailer axles and a bow in them so they cannot be flipped over. Choose the correct kit based on the diameter of your trailer's axles:
# K71-385-00 for 3 inch diameter axles
# K71-384-00 for 2-3/8 inch diameter axles
