Dexter K71-385-00 Over/Under Lift Kit for 5.2K-7K 3" Round Tube Axles

I used this kit to re-position the axles on an 8 x 20 cargo trailer. The kit worked very well, I did fully weld the spring mounts even though that is not explicitly required. I used the adjustments to get the new top mount perfectly parallel to the bottom spring mount and then welded it in place. The kit seems very well-made, I did notice that the new U bolts were 1/2” where the previous ones were 5/8” inch. I was not too worried about this though, because it appears to be a high grade you bolt and nut. And because it is made by a well respected manufacturer in Dexter. No washers are included in this kit, I inquired and was told that they were not necessary. I still decided to buy stainless steel lock washers and fender washers. I installed those after these pictures were taken.Overall, I would say the trailer was lifted about 6 inches.

The kit does the job. It was easy to follow instructions and once i did the first axle i established a system for the 2nd and got it done in about 45 mins.Installed on a double axle cargo trailer. I haven't driven it yet but right now i'm seeing about 7 inches of lift. I suspect that it will settle to about 5.5 inches once driven. Overall, exactly what i was looking for. Now my water tank and stabilizer jacks can be permanently mounted without scraping and i'll have some clearance to get to some of my favorite primitive camp sites.I docked a star because the package is horribly boxed. Somewhere along the way, a hole developed in the flimsy cardboard they packed it in, and a coupling nut and 5 nuts for the u bolts fell out. Shouldn't have to make a hardware store run halfway through an install.

Works great, took a little while to make sure everything is lined up evenly, but not bad

The parts had no paint on them

If you are doing an axle flip this is what you need to do it makes it so easy good quality parts easy install with this kit
