For starters, I've linked to a help article that mentions a few different ways to increase your trailer's ride height.
If your trailer has a 2-3/8 or 3 inch diameter axle tube, and the leaf springs are currently mounted below the axle, you can use a Dexter over/under conversion kit like # K71-384-00 for a 2-3/8 diameter axle or part
# K71-385-00 for 3 inch axles to relocate the springs to the top of the axle tube. This would gain you the a height increase equal to the diameter of the axle tube plus the thickness of the spring pack.
You can also increase the height of your spring hangers, but you'll need to keep the height increase consistent between the front hanger, the hanger the equalizer attaches to and the rear hanger. I'll link you to the suspension hangers we offer.
