Raising the Height of a 5th Wheel Trailer with Two 2800 Pound Axles

Question:

Hi, Iam thinking about using one of the dexter kits to raise my 5th/wheer. It has two 2800 pound axles under it. It is a widerness lite by fleetwood. Would kit K71-384-00 be the one to order two of them? Also do you have a kit that has new bolts to use when i my axles to attach it back to the frame or what do you recommend ?

Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit Item # K71-384-00 will fit round axles with a 2-3/8 inch diameter which is likely what you have on your 5th wheel trailer. You would need 1 kit per axle.

Basically this kit is providing new spring seats to the tops of the axle so that attachment between the springs and the frame will not change so no additional hardware will be needed.
