We had to raise our hart trailer for our new truck. The person who I used for my trailer repair said the best thing to do was to change out the axials. It would cost the about the same as turning the axials and you would have new parts. Hope this helps.

It is something to do with the pitch on the axials. An axial has different postitions you can install them at and depending on the angle depends on the height. You would have to ask someone who sell the axials or a trailer repair shop they could explain it better. Sorry.

Changing axles is a good way to raise your trailer but it is very expensive. Your trailer axles may already have up articulation now so new axles wouldn't be an option. Your trailer can be raised safely by adding blocks or shims but it needs to be done by an experienced service facility. Make sure it wont void your warranty also. We have blocked several trailers at our facility and have had no problems. Good luck with your search.
