Trailer axle lifting blocks?

Anyone have any experience using these types of block on a camper? Looking at these as an option to try and get my trailer to ride level.

  • IMHO a 1" or 2"block is not going to place any more stress than is already on the hangers, but I agree that adding the cross member will add more support.
    Over 10,000 miles on this set up with 2" blocks, and 5/8" ubolts.

  • Picture 2 is best. Don’t even need to scrap the axle u bolts. Leave the axle and springs assembled and fix to the new hangars. Be careful to mark and measure and get the alignment right.

    Now is the time to adjust the trailer wheelbase to change pin weight if you want to. For that cargo box you want to put on the back etc...

    Ya think? ROFLMAO...........

    Not to mention twisting the Lippert junk into a pretzel. That is if the Lippert nuclear power plant quality welds at the hangers hold past the first sharp turn. If they do the bottom flange may tear off I suppose.

    Nailed It!!!
  • personally I would build up under the frame with heavy wall tubing and keep the axles in direct contact with the springs without the blocks
