Is There a Lift Kit for Fifth Wheel Trailer with Boot Hangers
Question:
I have a 2017 Jayco Eagle HT 27.5RLTS with boot hangars. Your Lippert Components Tandem Axle Lift Kit Item # LC4071 installation manual says it will not work with the boot hangars. Also the center hangar only one hole. Is there a kit that would give me at least a 2inch lift ?

Expert Reply:
While there is still an option to add some lift to your trailer, the Lippert Lift Kit you mentioned will not work with boot hangers.
Instead, what you'll need is an over/under conversion kit, which moves your trailer's leaf springs to the top of your axle and lifts your trailer approximately the same amount as your axle's diameter plus the height of the leaf spring pack. The correct kit will depend on the diameter of your axles.
