[QUOTE="Derek, post: 202947, member: 2615"] I saw it in the second picture you posted. Currently you have the axle setup below the springs, but the spindle bolts to the axle ~4" (im guessing) above the axle centerline, effectively lowering the trailer height between your tires. It is called a drop axle. The kit you posted has the spindle directly off the end of the axle. So using the same springs the existing axle will make the trailer lower. Your trailer maybe currently sitting higher then it should because shackles are setup incorrect. [/QUOTE]
