If your leaf springs are currently on the underside of your axle, you can use an over-under kit to place the springs atop the axle, which will lift your trailer by an amount approximately equal to the diameter of your axle. These kits are only compatible with double-eye leaf springs.
For a 2-3/8 inch diameter axle, use part # K71-384-00 or for a 3 inch diameter axle, use part # K71-385-00. Simply measure the diameter of your axle to determine which kit is needed.
Keep in mind that altering the suspension geometry can affect how your trailer handles.
