Hey guys, I did a search and didn't come up with anything relevant. I know it's not a usual request.
I've got a 6x12 enclosed trailer that I've converted to a covert camper. I want to haul it with my Avalanche which has a 6inch lift on it. On my stock height Ram, the trailer tilts up in the front fairly noticeably. I know it'll just be worse on the Avalanche and I don't like the feel of towing it with the 6" drop hitch I got. It feels like the back end connection to the truck is loose and dipping down everytime I slowly apply the brakes. Checked it 100 times and it's solid, I think it's just a geometry issue with the two different heights. Also I'd like the added ground clearance for better approach/departure angles and ruts etc.
I'd like to raise the trailer and put a set of taller/wider tires on it to compensate. I don't load it down with cargo, and all the weight is at the bottom/floor of it. I've heard of people flipping the springs so they're above the axle instead of below, lift blocks etc.
I'm looking for a NJ shop closest to central NJ that would work on something like this because it's just beyond my customization abilities. Anyone have any ideas of what shops, trailer shops, etc would be able to do the raising work for me?
