Our Jayco has torflex axles but are manufactured specifically for the Jayco frame. I looked and researched for some time a way to lift our camper a few inches. The best I could do without MAJOR modifications was bigger wheels and tires. The larger wheels and tires got at least an inch. Not sure if it was worth the money but it is a better feeling having larger wheels and tires going down the road.
Yeah, I am pretty much in the same boat. Our trailer has a side mounted axle with a bolt pattern specifically for Jayco/Starcraft. I have been in contact with Dexter, but I doubt they will come up with anything I haven't found in my searching already. I still need to crawl underneath and get the serial number and and take a picture of how the axle is mounted to the frame to send back to them. But I am almost positive they will just confirm my suspicion that there is no way to lift the trailer with this axle. (which is stupid)
New tires and rims might be the best option. I will probably be replacing the tires before next season anyway as they are starting to show signs of rot from being in the sun (visible cracking in the sidewalls, etc).
What size tire and rim did you put on?
