Flipping axles, new hitch? How about some twenty inch wheels?

The simplest, cheapest cure is to mount the coupler on top of the frame where it belongs. Looks like about a five inch frame which would solve the problem.

Do you have any idea what something like that would cost? To move the coupler?

Moving the coupler would be the least troublesome cure outside of changing to a trunnion type hitch. However, both changes might be in order and I'd probably change hitches first because it's so easy to do.

The biggest problem with moving the coupler will be finding someone who is qualified and experienced doing that kind of work. Call or go by a few welding shops and see what they have to say. Take a bunch of pics with you so they can see what you're talking about. If you told us what city you're in there may be a member on here who could recommend someone.

Everything will have a cost associated. Only you can decide if it's worth the cost. Maybe you can get the dealer to swap the hitch out for minimal expense. Won't hurt to ask.

Sorry I didn't look it up sooner but I see your trailer has a torsion suspension system so that's why axle flipping is not an option. Jayco did offer a 2" lift kit for some of those models and that would help some.

I see you're getting about the same advice on the Jayco forum too. Good luck getting things resolved.
