Default "Lift Kit" for a trailer?

I haven't really taken a good look at my axle setup on my trailer (Premier LT 5x8) but I was wondering if anyone had info on whether or not it was possible to do a 'lift' on a trailer.

Just a thought...

Thanks in advance.

Granted I know nothing about your trailer, with that being said, you may be able to do a spring over conversion.

Okay...so this is my current setup:



Would a 'spring over conversion' look like this?:



If this is what you're talking about...it seems like this can be done easily. Anything I should know, or look out for. I'm definitely game to try.

More research has revealed that my axle is cambered so I can't just flip the axle over and reconnect it. I'm just going to take it into dealer where I bought it and have them move the my perches and slap it all back together for me.

Should get me about 5" of lift and then I'll bump the tire size up a bit to get more clearance for the axle and call it a day.

I was looking through some of my old threads and thought I'd post some updates.

I had the spring over conversion done on the trailer last year and have had no problems since. The trailer dealer charged me about $150 to do the conversion and paint my rims. It's difficult to see the additional ground clearance in these pics, but you can definitely see the additional height gained between the tire and the wheel-well.
