Trailer Suspension Upgrade / Help
We love our 5th wheel. Well, for the most part anyway. I'll say this right off the bat, I would never buy another rear kitchen model. It seems most every trip we take something in the kitchen breaks. ...

The research on this is driving me crazy. I have limited funds to invest but I know I need to do something. My problem was made when worse when I discovered I really can't do anything to modify the suspension to ride smoother until I fix my poor clearance issue.
I spoke to my fabricator (guy who did my rear racks I posted in another thread this summer) and since I only need the raise about 1 1/2 " he thinks I should just add small spring lift blocks.

That would give me 3.25" of tire to trailer floor clearance so I could then choose a suspension kit like either the SRE3000 or CRE4000 or something.
I realize the best way to raise the trailer would be a full sub-frame but cost (I'm guessing closing to $1,000 ?) and the fact I need so little has me thinking this alternative.
Thoughts?
P.S. What is the measurement they are referring to between a 33" and 35" wheelbase?
