My lift kit install

I just installed the lift kit on my trailmanor. All went well. It was a piece of cake and would have only taken me an hour "IF" the factory had paid a bit more attention to the hole spacing in the kit. One side was off by 1/4". I had to ream the hole out. besides that little detour of time, all went well.

First thing I did was put the trailer up on four jackstands. Once supported at each end I removed the tires, marked the axle in 6 different location to assure proper alignment once the kit was installed. I then placed the jack under the axle right in the middle putting up force on the axle itself. This allowed me to remove the stock bolts on the axle and replace them{both sides} with the longer bolts in the new kit. I then lowered the jack out and away from the axle. This gave me plenty of room to work without having to fight the axle. Then doing one side at a time I put the jack back under the axle but this time on the very end at the hub witch allowed me to remove the longer previously installed hardware/install the lift block/ then replace the hardware back again. I then repeated the same thing on the other side. It worked out fantastic. I let the axle pivot giving tons of space to install the kit. Once the blocks and hardware were installed I ran them up snug and did my final alignment. Then tightened them down for final position.

I'm very happy with the way it came out. The trailer is now 2 1/2 inches higher than stock and no more scraping pulling out of the driveway. An added bonus is that my stabilizer jacks still work without the need of blocks.

I have pics I just need to downsize them and that wll have to wait until the AM.
