Hi NWElk
Welcome to the forum!
You mentioned the EZ Flex lowering your suspension by 1”, h’mm heads up that “might” be a concern. Some TT have 4" fender clearnace, some 3" and some less. What do you have now on the heavy side of the TT?
I’ll share with you my situation. My TT builder believed in keeping the TT as low as practical for less wind drag and more stable towing. As such my fender clearance on the stock setup is lower them the Dexter recommended 3” min. I had about 2 1/2" to 2 3/8” with the TT loaded. While that does not sound like that much of a change, it is about the minimum I would want to run. And in my case I upgraded to 6,000# axles which have different axle seats and I added axle adjusters. The axle seat 1/4” and the axle adjusters 1/4” lowered me 1/2” from an already low fender clearance. I do not like the close clearance in max suspension travel and as such I raised the suspension back up to stock thru the spring mounts.
If add the EX flex will lower your TT by 1” see what fender clearance you will have. I would not recommend must below 2 1/2” and like I said, Dexter recommends 3” as a generic rule.
If you want to test your setup before you do the upgrade, here is one method to see max travel, again for you present day TT loading. If you have a lot of cargo weight yet to be able to add before reaching GVWR, well you will need to make an estimate on how much that will drop your TT ride height making this rub problem worse.
I slowly backed up on wood blocks under 1 tire. The block height is enough to raise the entire TT off the ground leaving the rear tire spin in air. Granted this is extreme and max but again there in no bounce going on while driving and dropping a wheel in a pot hole or going over a high up bump under motion.
Here is normal
Here is the ramp setup
The rear tire off the ground
And the inside looking out.
And in my case I have a super slide. The slide side is lower due to the extra weight. Here is normal on the slide side
I raised my suspension in this manner and beefed it up in the process.
Also don’t forget new tires eat up some space too.
Hope this helps and good luck
John
