Recommended Axle With Lift For Frame Ground Clearance
Question:
Is this axle or other EZ lube 60inch axle available in an overslung configuration, or just underslung? Im increasing the tire size on my trailer from 12inch to 14, and would also like the extra spring to frame clearance. The existing axle is overslung attached under my springs, and the underslung axle would make the fenders rub, as well as limit the spring gap.

What you are referring to requires an over-under kit. We do have these available for axles that have a 2-3/8 inch axle # K71-384-00, so the Dexter Trailer Idler Axle w/ Hubs - EZ-Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 60" Long - 2,200 lbs # 20545I-EZ-60-15 with 1-3/4 inch axle diameter will not work.
For your application, I recommend going with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - 4" Lift Spindle w/Flange - Off-Road Tires - 2.2K # ASR1THDS03 along with # 84545BX which will meet your width requirements as well as give you the height clearance you need. This system will replace your springs and suspension system as it is integrated. This system does require a 2x2 square bar that you can obtain locally to fit into the integrated holes.
