Best Way to Lift 2019 Cougar Fifth Wheel Trailer

Question:

I need to raise the 5th wheel two to three inches. The king pin plate is at max height and the pin box is at low as it goes. Without replacing wheels on trailer do you have a lift kit for 2019 Cougar BH....

The best way to lift a trailer is to move the axles from being above the leaf springs to below them.

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.
