How to Lift a Trailer w/ Axles Below the Leaf Springs
Question:
I would like to lift my camper 1.5 to 2 inches. Its a 2017 coleman lantern 262bh. Tandem axle. Lippert 3500lb axles 2-3/8 tube. The leaf springs are already on top of the axles. Do you have any recommendations without having to do any welding or adding extra supports to hangers. Or at least let me know what my options would be. Heavier springs lift blocks? Any help or insight would be great, thank you for your time.

Expert Reply:
Since your axles are already below your leaf springs the only option is the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit item # RR23QX. This kit mounts to your spring hangers and moves the attachment point down 1-1/4" or 2-1/4". This adds extra brackets to the hangers but again it is the only aftermarket option.
Heavier springs won't do anything to help your ride height unless your springs are old and worn out which still wouldn't be anywhere close to 1-1/2" - 2". Lift blocks or at least the ones sold in stores are reserved for torsion axles.
