Is There An Over-Under Kit For A 2-3/4 Diameter Trailer Axle?
Question:
Thank you for your assistance. My dilemma is that my camper is older and the axles are 2 3/4inch not 3. The kits are for 2 3/8inch and 3. Do you have any suggestions?

Since you have such an anomaly of an axle, at 2-3/4" in diameter, there isn't going to be a flip kit available for you.
The best suggestion I can make is to replace your axles with something more standardized like the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles # 7359765.
However, in order to determine the correct replacement axles for you, I am going to need: the weight capacity, the hub face to hub face measurements, as well as the spring seat to spring seat dimensions.
Once you have the information we can find a replacement axle for you. For example, the axle # 7359765 mentioned above has a weight capacity of 3.500lbs, a hub face to hub face measurement of 95", and a spring seat to spring seat measurement of 80".
From here, you can use an over under kit like # K71-384-00 to give your trailer the extra lift you're needing.
Below is an attached image showing you how/where to measure for these figures.
