Recommended Lift Kits For A 2021 Gulf Stream Vista Cruiser 19RBS Travel Trailer

Question:

I have a 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 RBS with a Lippert 4,000 lbs axle and would like to lift it after putting new leaf springs on it. I see you offer the 1.88inch lift kit. Was hoping to go to 3inch or 4. Is this possible?

The Lippert Components Standard Axle Lift Kit # LC425750 is basically an extension for your hangers which would give you a little bit of lift but to get the 3-4" you're looking for you would need to "flip" your axles.

If your axles are underslung then you can flip them to the overslung position using the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00. This will give you a lift equal to the diameter of your axles.

These two kits together can be used together to gain additional lift for your 2021 Gulf Stream Vista Cruiser 19RBS travel trailer. That being said you'll be shifting the weight higher than the manufacturer intended so you'll be more likely to experience body roll.

This can be mitigated by installing a crossmember, like # MR33WR, on your hangers to add some rigidity to your trailer's frame.
