Best Way to Lift my Trailer
Question:
Hi There, hope you can help, i have a 2018 forest river wildcat 30gt and a Ram 2500 4x4. Currently due to the rear height of the truck the 5th wheel sits very nose high. so i was looking at raising the trailer. The Axles are currently under the springs, so i was looking at two options, 1 install lift blocks between the axles and springs or 2 The lift kit, Which would you recommend as there is so much conflicting info on the net, i would like it to be as safe and strong as possible. Also i would like to use the Morryde sre4000 suspension kit, can this be used in conjunction with either option?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Since your axles are already under you springs the Tandem Axle Lift Kit part # RR23QX is the best option to get two inches of additional leveling. This would be my first choice before going to the spring blocks. If you needed more level I would then move to the spring blocks. This way you will not be using too much or as much of a block keeping all of the components closer to their original positions and working properly.
