Can Over-Under Conversion Kit be Used to Lower Trailer With Axle Already Located Below Springs
Question:
Thanks for reaching out to them and for the answer. Do you know how much clearance I need from the top of the wheel to the trailer? I don’t want to drop too much and then the wheel hits the trailer on a few big bumps.

The Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 is typically used to place the leaf springs on top of the axle (like you currently have) but I reached out to my contact at Dexter Axle and if you don't already have spring seats on the bottom side off your axle then the kit will allow you to move your axle above your leaf springs.
This will lower your trailer the equivalent to the diameter of your axle (which for this kit is 2-3/8") plus the height of your leaf spring stack.
