does your trailer already have a suspension upgrade like the MORyde CRE3000 or equivalant, that will usaly gain you about 2" of lift while aloing you to tune/align your suspension properly.

No, I do not. I did look into that type of equalizer, thinking of intentionally using a taller than current.
From what i read online you needed to use one with very similar dimensions to current equalizer. If I used one two inches taller, to keep suspension geometry with all spring ends at equal height, I'd have to extend front and rear hangers 2". Oh, another bit I read was that changing center only would yield a ride height increase of 1/2 the height increase of the equalizer (2" taller equalizer = 1" increase in height due to outer ends remaining at same height)
As to the ability to align the suspension, I thought that would require the likes of the Lippert Correct Track ( which also can provide a lift) ? Unfortunately those are not compatible with my type of spring hangers. I called Lippert and confirmed that.
Have you used a taller equalizer leaving outer spring ends in current location? Perhaps that is viable.?

that might be the one I am thinking of, I may have just rememberd the wrong name. I have it on my 5th wheel and it has octagon pucks that are offset you can change to adjust the alignment. but ya it does add 2" of hight when you install it also.
not compatable.. hmm that sucks, so your left with fabracating new mount points or longer shackels (which I don't like myself) or makin g a 2 to 3" sub frame and dropping your suspension and putting that on the frame then remounting your suspension.. or an axel flip (easiest, but gives you more hight than you want) for me it would be easy, I would flip the axels and get the extra ground clearance, but on a toy hauler that could have implacations with the angle of the ramp and such..
