Parts Needed To Raise Trailer Height To Avoid Contacting Steep Driveway

Question:

Hello, I am currently having issues backing my boat trailer on a steep driveway. Would you be able to provide recommendations based on pictures? I can share some pictures of the driveway and the trailer. Thanks

Thanks for the picture!

I recommend installing an over-under kit assuming that your trailer currently has the axles above the leaf springs. This will raise your trailer by 4" or more depending on the diameter of your axle and the height of your leaf springs.

To determine the correct over-under kit for your trailer you will need to know the diameter of your axles, if your axles are 2-3/8" you will need the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00, or if you have 3" diameter axles you will need the # K71-385-00.

I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
