Availability of Lift Kit for Pop-Up Trailer

Question:

I have a 1994 Jayco tent trailer I was wondering which kit I need to lift the trailer. Thanks for your help! Tom

If your pop-up has a leaf spring suspension and a 2-3/8 inch diameter axle beam, an over/under conversion kit might be the solution. If your leaf springs are currently mounted to the underside of the axle beam, an over/under kit will allow you to relocate the springs to the top of the axle beam, which would gain you a height increase equivalent to the diameter of the axle tube plus the thickness of the spring pack.

If the leaf springs are currently mounted under the axle, and the axle tube is 2-3/8 inches in diameter, use part # K71-384-00. If your axle tube is a different diameter, I might be able to suggest something if you can reply with a clear photo of the ID tag on the axle.

The # K71-385-00 kit you'd looked at is designed for 3 inch axle tubes, which are typically found on heavier axle than what'd be found on a tent trailer.
