Skylark Torsion Bar Adjustment

I have a 2011 Skylark FKV. It seems to sit lower than I'd like and I wondered if the torsion bar suspension is adjustable to raise it a half-inch or so.

I don't believe there's any adjustment to that type of suspension.

Can a taller tire size be put on? Just a thought if you're looking for a little lift.

I also have a 2011 Skylark FKV and it also sits low. Once you get used to it and watch for radical grade changes so you can avid them it isn't a problem.

It's pretty tight in the wheel well already, darn it.

Thanks. I do watch it but it seems gas stations get my drag bars more than anything else. I'm working on my third set of those.

I've had my trailer since it was new in 2011 and I am on only my second set of drag bars. I replaced the factory ones with some made of thicker metal, but I have yet to drag them. I choose not to use gas stations with steep grade changes. Watch those speed bumps in campgrounds as well.
