How Can I Get More Ground Clearance if my Axles are Already Converted Under the Springs
Question:
I have a 2006 keystone raptor 37ft toyhauler 5th wheel that sits to low for the offroad camping we do. The axles already sit below the leaf springs. What would be the best way to add a couple inches of clearance .

Expert Reply:
From that point the only option you will have to raise your camper would be to add longer spring hangers. Depending on your setup you can get a couple of inches out of these. Measure yours from the frame to the bolt hole and get longer ones like the Front/Center/Rear Hanger for Double-Eye Springs part # 28-5 that is 3-1/4" tall.
The Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs Kit part # APT4 is also a great way to achieve this and refresh all of the other suspension components.
