Hello all. Just bought a used 2014 Sprinter 269FWRLS.....and have some questions regarding the axles and adding a 3" lift. I am nose high, due to my truck being too tall (2016 RAM 4X4 SB) and would like to be level for a better tow.
Are these Dexter Axles? Which PN?
If you lifted yours, which system did you use?
Does changing the rims and tires to 16" really help?

I am sure more questions will come as we go through the rig. Thank You

Welcome to the forum

First off congrats on your new to you purchase. Putting a "lift" on a trailer isn't really a good idea, but if you change out the factory suspension to a "wet bolt" kit with the MORyde kit or similar from another brand you will gain about 2" and a vastly improved suspension.
