Will The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Kit for 8K Axles Also Allow For a Lift To Be Added?
Question:
Hello. I have a 2017 Prime Time Manufacturing Spartan 3712X fifth wheel toy hauler. I have previously upgraded the axles to 8K rated axles. I tow with a 2019 Silverado 3500HD dually using a Demco autoslide hitch. Because of the height of the truck my trailer rides nose high. I have lowered the Demco hitch as far as it will go and raised the pinbox as much as I can and maintain clearance between the siderails of the pickup box and trailer body. I am considering purchasing the Roadmaster RM-2470-2580 8K tandem suspension. Is there a lift kit available that can be used with the Roadmaster RM-2472-2580 suspension to get my trailer more level?

I do have a couple suggestions for you as the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks # RM-2470-2580 does not offer a simple way to add a lift to your 2017 Prime Time Spartan 3712X toy hauler. If you are set on this style of suspension you can add some lift by cutting off your hangers and having a piece of steel stock welded on to raise the trailer.
A much simpler option would be to use the Lippert Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade # LC1565391. This cushioned equalizer will raise the trailer 2" and is rated for tandem axle trailers using up to 8K axles. Since it does not require the modification like the Roadmaster above to lift the trailer this is something you could install yourself.
