With a 4 inch axle, you have a few options. There is not an over under kit for this size axle, but you could replace the current hangers with longer ones, like the Dexter # HAP-105-00, depending on the size of your current ones.

Another option would be the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # LC87120. This gives you between 1 1/4 inches and 2 1/4 inches of lift. Though we do not have an install video of this as of yet, I did include a review video that goes into the specifications and detail in greater detail. This can also be used in unison with the # HAP-105-00 to give you even more lift.

Please keep in mind the # HAP-105-00 is for a 2 inch slipper style spring.
