My enclosed trailer needs a lift kit. It has SUA and about 6" of ground clearance. If I run my hitch level, it almost drags the ground. I thought about making new side plates and just lowering the mounting points for the spring mount points. The frame is a 2x6" rect tube and I should be able to plate all the way to the top of it, but I have a little concern about them racking(?) in being 2-3" longer than they are.
Youtube answer is to change the axle to SOA, weld on new base plates and bolt it up. That seems to give about 5" of lift. That seems like a lot, but maybe the easiest. Amazon has kits with the new bases, u-bolts, nuts, etc, so probably a 1 day job.
Anyone done this before, either way, and how did it work out?
