Can 2016 R-Pod Trailer be Suspension Lifted
Question:
Just checked with Forest River- 3500lb axle torflex torsion axles. what would I need instead then?

Expert Reply:
If your trailer has leaf springs you can do this by moving the axles from being above the leaf springs to below the leaf springs.
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.
If you instead have torsion springs email me back and let me know what you have!
