Why Cant Lift Blocks Be Used On a Trailer  

Question:

Curious why a simple 1-2inch lift block and longer Ubolts would be any less table than a axle flip. Id prefer to keep the tubes above the spring but need another 1½inch or so of rear corner height. Taller tires will fit but theyre a permanent future cost to a suspension mod.

It's not wise to use lift blocks on a trailer, they are very unstable when used in this application and they can wear down other components faster like the leaf springs, tie plates, etc. In fact, we don't even carry any sort of lift blocks for trailers. That said, we do have great options for lifting the trailer. The two most common are axle flip kits like the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit part # K71-384-00 or part # K71-385-00 and hanger extension kits like the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit part # LC87120 or part # RR23QX. The axle flip kits offer more lift so it comes down to how much you need in regards to which is best for you. The extension kits are around 1-2" and the flip kits are around 3-4".
