Recommendation for Lifting a 28 ft Bendron Titan Enclosed Trailer with 3 Inch Diameter Drop Axles
Question:
My Trailer has straight axles, but the Spindle part is dropped to lower the trailer. Axles are 3 inch and springs are 1 3/4 inch. I want to lift this trailer about 3 inches because the beaver tail on the back catches the road when going up an incline into a parking lot. Can you please help me with finding the right kit to lift this trailer please.

To raise your trailer, you can simply use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00 for 3 inch axles which will put the springs on the top of your axle tube. This will raise your trailer by the 3 inch diameter of your axle as well as the height of your leaf spring stack. You will need one kit for each axle.
The other option is to replace your axles with straight axles that do not have the drop spindle. That drop spindle is normally 4 inches, so that would be all that is required. You will need to measure your axles from hub face to hub face and also from center of spring seat to center of spring seat.
I've attached links to the 5,200 lb, 6,000 lb, and 7,000 lb axle options because you stated you have a 3 inch axle diameter.
