Helpful Expert Reply:
To raise your trailer up a few inches we do have an option that could work for you. If your leaf springs are mounted under your axle you could get a Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00. This will allow you to move the springs to above the axles and should give you an additional 3-4 inches of lift.
You should note that when you raise a trailer that the geometry of the trailer will change. The trailer may become top heavy, which could contribute to trailer sway and instability.
