Hi guys n gals
Last year I bought myself a 2015 keystone 27DBS. It has been a great trailer for us.
My one and only real complaint about it is just how low the thing is.
It’s factory spring over axle, yet the trailer only has 26” 205/75/14 tires.
This must be a keep costs down option.

I would like to move up to 15” wheels and 225 75 15 Goodyear endurance tires (28”)
This will gain me some clearance and avoid scraping the rear jacks like the trailer is currently prone to. (I cut them off for now)

The trailer also has the ez align system or whatever it’s called from the factory. I was going to do a 1.5” solid billet alum block to lift the trailer to accommodate a bigger tire size but doesn’t seem to be a good option according to what I read. I was also thinking about welding longer hangers in place of the original but I’m open to ideas

Anyone have a similar setup? What have you done? Perhaps the tire size will fit without lift but I doubt it.. Thanks!
