Question:

What about the MR98ZR kit? Will it work also? I need as much lift as I can get. This kit says it provides 3 1/8” lift.

If the trailer uses a leaf spring suspension then we do have lift options such as the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit part # RR23QX which will provide either a 1-1/4" or 2-1/4" lift as well as correct any issues with misaligned axles if present. This kits installs easily with no drilling required and it comes with everything you will need. Please note, if you require further adjustment you should be able to raise the hitch head height on the fifth wheel hitch or lower the pin box on the trailer. It's recommend that you have around 4-6" between the truck and trailer for proper travel.

No, that's not a lift kit. Those are just 3-1/8" long shackles which does not equal lift. The only other lift kit options we offer are for trailer's with underslung axles, the Dexter Over Under Conversion Kit part # K71-384-00 for 2-3/8" diameter axles or part # K71-385-00 for 3" diameter axles. These kits will lift the trailer the amount equal to the thickness of the axle, tie-plate, and leaf spring stack.

Leaf spring shackle bolts don't get torqued down as that prevents them from being able to move as the suspension flexes. You will end up using lock nuts that just get tightened down till they sit flush and the nylon in the nut keeps it from…

The spring hanger placement is going to be determined by your axle spacing. For example, if your axles are spaced 33 inches apart, as shown in the attached diagram, a 7K axle slipper spring, like #e74SR, requires a distance of 28-1/2 inches between…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
