Need More Ground Clearance?
High Timber can assess and perform axle/suspension relocation conversions where appropriate. Commonly referred to as an “axle flip,” this involves repositioning the axle and spring relationship to increase trailer ride height and ground clearance while maintaining proper suspension mounting, brake wiring and component clearances.
If we find worn or damaged components during service, we’ll explain what we found and discuss the repair options before proceeding with additional work.
