Blond Bombshell.. Posts: 6628 Location: Hill Country of TEXAS!!	has anyone blocked their trailer to get it higher for clearance?? Did you have it dome after purchase or before? How many inches is yours blocked?

Poor Cracker Girl Posts: 12150 Location: Feeding mosquitos, FL	I blocked my old one 2". Bought a kit for the type of axles it had but could have done it with thick wall tubing. We did it in the back yard in about two hours.

My Heart Be Happy Posts: 9159 Location: Arkansas	Sean had ours done 2 inches about a year and a half ago at The Trailer Store in north AR. He says he really can tell a difference---me, not so much!!! But I'm also not the driver so I'm not real observant. . .

My husband was going to do it but ran out of time before I needed to use it so we got a local trailer shop to do it. We bought the tubing on our own though. Just anywhere that sells steel.
