Lift blocks on a trailer isn't a wise idea for several reasons. Your area big rig trailer repair shop can feed you info on that idea.
Both big rig shops in my area refused to add suspension blocks. One flatly refused and the other said if I sign a liability waver they would but wouldn't go over 1" in height. Both recommended the sub frame method as the safest for long term use.
Their 2nd recommendation was 3/8" side plates added to each side of the main frame rails as spring hangers with adjustable holes as some RV trailers come OEM with.
Depending on type of main frame rails fish plating or boxing may have to be added.
