...since it would be the diameter of the axle plus the thickness of the spring pack.
If you have a 3" diameter axle tube, 2" thick spring packs, and 1" high spring mounting pads, the lift ends up being 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7
Thanks, I forgot about the spring perches.
My 5200 pound Alko axles flip raised the trailer 5.5", and I then went back down 2" on the jack plates for a net of 3.5" and level ride. This was on our former Cardinal 2005 29WBLX.
