Recommended Kit for Raising 5th Wheel Trailer Height
Question:
Hello, What do you have for a fifth wheel lift kit? I am looking for something straight forward that will raise the trailer frame 2 to 3 inches. I need to do this so that I can extend my fifth wheel front hitch and keep the trailer level to gain clearance.

Expert Reply:
To lift your trailer I recommend the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 is for 3500 lb axles with 2-3/8 inch diameter. The # K71-385-00 is for 3 inch diameter axles. These kits will increase the height of your trailer by the diameter of the axles and the thickness of the leaf spring stack so it will be a lightly higher lift than you are seeking but it is the best option.
