Hey Allen,

Does your trailer have torsion axles or do you have a leaf spring suspension? If you have a torsion axle I'll need to see the axle tag in order to ensure you're getting a compatible lift riser. If you have a leaf spring suspension and your leaf springs sit below your axles then could go with an over-under conversion kit # K71-384-00 (2-3/8" diameter axles) or # K71-385-00 (3" diameter axles). With these kits you'd get a lift comparable to the diameter of the axle plus the height of the leaf spring stack.

Torsion axles by AL-KO , serial number 0445564900 1-051263000180, p/n 14401775, I hope you have something that will work, really need to raise this trailer.

The correct bolt spacing is 6 1/4 inch

@AllenC The Dexter lift kits unfortunately aren't a fit with AL-KO axles and Lippert has discontinued their torsion axle riser kits so there unfortunately isn't one available with a 6-1/4" bolt spacing at this time. You could try to see if Dexter might custom make one for you or you could see if a local welding/fabrication shop would be willing to build you a riser kit.
