Recommendation For Lifting Tandem Axle Trailer 2"

Question:

I am needing to raise my trailer by 2 inches. Currently have 2 inch tall equalizers and 3-1/4 inch tall spring hangers. I am seeing the 4 inch tall equalizer but Hmong see tall enough hangers with 9/16 hole. Have also considered axle swap to top of springs, I feel this will lift the trailer 5-1/2 inches axle tube is 3 inches in diameter plus 2-1/2 inch thick spring pack. Correct me if I’m wrong.

If you are only looking to raise your tandem axle trailer 2" I recommend using the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # RR23QX. This kit allows you to raise the trailer either 1-1/4" or 2-1/4". Using an Axle Flip Kit # K71-385-00 and mounting the axle below the leaf spring will raise your trailer the 3" of the tube and thickness of your leaf spring pack. So with your leaf spring pack being 2-1/2" thick a 5-1/2" lift is going to be a lot more than what you are looking for.
