We ended up having to use blocks under the landing gear/stabilizers and an extra step and the bottom of the stairs because the trailer was so high. The only reason we didn't have to add height to our new Solitude when the MORryde IS was added is that our current truck is a "low-rider" dually (only rear wheel drive).

Most of the newer trailers already have the overhang at a higher level. Flipping axles is when you try to mate a new truck to an older trailer.
But yeah, if it gets too high it does cause problems. We did it on a prior trailer and found we had a lot more wobble when camping because the landing gear and stabilizers were in a longer configuration.
