Having the hydraulic leveling made the job pretty easy and I had no issues doing the install. Below is a photo prior to cutting off the excess bolts. Raising the trailer at the axles did not increase the overall height of the trailer because my highest point is at the front A/C which is very close to the hitch compared to the axles.
Can you address if you needed to do anything with your stairs because of the added height? The reason that I ask this is that I installed Lippert strong steps, a 2-step step and I am at the end of the adjustable length. If I lift the trailer will I have to replace my steps?
Thank you.
