How To Reduce Suspension Sag On Loaded Concession Trailer  

Question:

I recently purchased a 16x8.5 concession trailer and after adding all my equipment, because of the layout of the equipment being heavy on passenger side, I have about 1.5-2 inches of difference in ride height. What can I do to correct this? If a lift kit was needed and recommended the trailer could stand to be lifted a little anyhow.

I do have an option for you, but a lift kit would not correct your trailer sitting lower on one side due to the weight balance favoring that side.

Instead you'll need some suspension enhancement that will help to support your leaf springs to lessen suspension sag, but due to having that much weigh uneven you will always have some sag and there's just no way around that minus moving the weight around.

The correct suspension enhancement will be based on axle capacity range and if your leaf springs are mounted underneath the axle or on top of the axle:

3-5K axle with leaf springs on top # TSS-107-40
3-5K axle with leaf springs underneath # TSS-106-40
5-8K axle with leaf springs on top # SS26MV
5-8K axle with leaf springs underneath # SS33HR
