Trailer Suspension Lift

[Mark Baker]

I have a 2004 All American Sport 5'ver (toy hauler) that is pitched to high in the front when hitched to my truck. I have the pin box and my fifth wheel set to provide the lowest possible trailer height without risk of damage to truck bed rails. Is it possible to lift the suspension on my trailer to make it more level when being towed? The trailer has tandem 6000# axles with Al-Ko Rubber Independent Suspension. My truck has a 2" suspension lift in front and a 1"in the rear along with Air Lift Super Duty's. Thanks All.

My only sudgestion is to put a sub frame under it and mount the axle to it.



here is a link to the spec. 's of your axle.

Mark, if it has Dexter axles under it, they make a kit to flip the springs on top of the axles. This will gain you 3-4 inches. That is what I had to do to my HR.

axle flip

Yah what he said, put your springs on top of your axles. Not too big of a deal if you can weld and have one good friend and a full day.

He's got torsion axles- there are no springs to put on top...

Do the sub frame. No big deal for a competent welding or trailer shop.

I agree that subframes would be the best option.
