I have heard of people "flipping their axels" to get trailer higher but I have no clue how to do it or if it can be done with the suspension you have.

I contacted Jayco and asked if this was possible on the HT with Mor/Ryde and they told me no.

I was looking to do the same thing because mine runs nose high also. I adjusted my hitch down all the way. Also my Eagle HT already had axels flipped from factory. Gonna look into spacers from a place here in the valley to level it out. Let me know what you find out.

I too would like to raise my FW, maybe 4"-6". My FW come from Jayco with the axles under the leaf springs. The best way I can think of is to build a box steel frame and attach it to the trailer frame and attach the leaf springs to it. I have seen this done on the Internet where people have done this to their own trailers but they have more tools than I do. I don't know of anyone who has some sort of Kit.

I hear the CRE4000 is not that expensive an upgrade.

CRY adds 4" of movement absorption, but I'm not sure if it actually adds any lift.
If I ever get the courage to lift my FW a shock and spring upgrade may also make the list.

The 2015 has a second hole in the front and back shackles. The dealer toldme that they would do it with just the cost of labor (no parts needed). So Idid myself. It took about an hour and a half. The second hole is 2-1/2"below the top hole. It raised the fifth wheel about 1-1/2". Now I justneed to lower the hitch 1" and it will be good. Then I'll have at least6" between the tail gate and fifth wheel per Husky's spec (have7-1/2" now).

Went down to where I store my trailer doing some upgrades on it. Welding a custom generator stand that wont drag on ground. I leveled my trailer out measured the distance from ground to bottom of trailer is 56 1/4 inches the top of my truck bed is 57 1/2. It would need 7 1/4 to level it out on my truck. I will probably lift if 6 inches and add bigger tires cause it has 15 inch rims on it now. Probably go with 16 inch rims to put truck tires on it. Also mine did not have the 2nd hole for adjustment and has cre3000 on it.

One of the issues with taller tires is the distance between the axles. When they lift it, see if they can spread the axles a few inches to accommodate the tires/wheel package you are thinking of. You may also want to have them install Mud Flaps.
