Can Trailer with Overslung Axles be Lowered  

Question:

I have a single axel with overslung springs. What do I need to lower my camper with underslung springs? The axel is new and has caused unwanted height of my camper. Afraid it may be top heavy as is.

Expert Reply:

Since you have overslung axles you can use an over under kit to move the axle relative to the spring to lower the trailer's suspension height.

The diameter of your trailer axle will determine the size of the parts that you will need to order. If your axle is 3 inches diameter, the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit, # K71-385-00, would be a great choice and if your axle is 2-3/8 inch diameter you could use the Over-Under Kit, # K71-384-00. These kits can be installed without welding but the manufacturer strongly recommends having the new spring seat tacked in place on the other side of the trailer axle.
